Chapter 743 Interpretation

"Ling Zi, my sister: What my former brother said is now eighty-nine times out of ten. The weather, time and place are all working together, and the haze of a hundred years is just around the corner. The whole world celebrates this. The auspiciousness mentioned above will arrive at noon on the 12th, and the earth will be here. Thirty-five miles north of the camp. Now take the auspicious sign to the northeast of Beijing and hand it over to my second brother. Don’t miss the important event on New Year’s Eve. Elder brother.”

Tang Zhao opened the letter in front of Xing Ji and read it from beginning to end. The letter spontaneously ignited without wind and disappeared.

Obviously, this was a letter that could only be read once. After reading it, Tang Zhao triggered its self-destruction program and disappeared completely. Unless he had the power to reverse time, he would never be able to find it again.

It can be seen that it is extremely impossible to see this letter, and you must be lucky at full level. Tang Zhao sighed again: The auspicious Ganoderma lucidum is well-deserved.

"Lingzi, you mean Marquis Baoying, right?"

Xing Ji nodded and said: "There is no one else. This letter is hers... written to her by the messenger of the Lord."

Although the letter was signed "eldest brother", both Tang Zhao and Xing Ji felt that this was not a letter from their biological brother. It was obvious that the other party was the leader and Baoying Hou was the subordinate. Even though the words were quite polite, they still sounded like an order. The so-called brother and sister are probably the brothers who are worshiped, recognized as brothers and sisters, or some other internal title of the organization.

Not only Jianghu people are willing to be brothers, but politicians are also willing to do so. This is a free and easy way to win over. However, the procedure is not that rough. You have to gather together on the family tree and join a clan, and then you can call them brothers and sisters. This is also a form of alliance.

Tang Zhao wondered: "But Marquis Baoying is not a person. Is the brother she thinks so powerful? Someone sent a fake letter in her brother's name, right?"

Xing Ji analyzed: "It may be impersonation, or there may be a mastermind behind the scenes that she can call her brother. There is not necessarily only one way to control her subordinates, as long as it is convenient and easy to use. If it is better to recognize brothers and sisters, then recognize brothers and sisters, If the marriage is good, then marry, and if the marriage is good, then the marriage is done. In short, it serves the purpose. Anyway, the brothers and sisters don't pay for calling. And..."

He looked at Tang Zhao sideways and said, "Don't let your words give off the feeling that 'a mere swordsman is nothing, how can he have the right to speak on such a big matter'?" In your opinion, the average swordsman It’s not worth mentioning, but in the human world, in addition to the national master, there are also a group of swordsmen who call the shots. It is very important to win over a swordsman, let alone a prince. If you can win over the prince by having relatives, a strong man named the prince’s grandmother can be separated for several miles. Go away. Also, you, Mr. Xing, and I may not be as good as Marquis Baoying. You can’t just say it so bluntly to my face just because I’m thick-skinned, right?”

Tang Zhao hurriedly said: "I don't mean to look down on swordsmen. I am also a swordsman. Besides, you are not an ordinary swordsman. In my heart, you are the third among swordsmen..." He stretched out a finger, but he felt that the first place was too fake. He stretched out another finger, and after thinking for a while, he stretched out another...

Xing Ji grabbed his hand and said, "Don't do this, I'm afraid you don't have that many fingers. Just analyze it carefully, don't be too polite."

Tang Zhao brought the topic back and said: "This letter does not provide much information. I can only pick out the details. One is that this letter does clearly state the time and place of Junhou's visit. I'm afraid Jun Hou himself may not be so clear about it, which is chilling. The second one mentioned major events, one was about a hundred years of haze, and the second was that the major event happened during the Lantern Festival."

"A hundred years of haze, what happened a hundred years ago? That caused the haze to spread all over?"

Xing Ji pondered for a moment and said, "If I were to talk about a major event that I can think of, a hundred years ago...the founding of the Jin Dynasty?"

Tang Zhao clapped his hands and said in unison with Xing Ji: "Gurtle bandits?!"

A hundred years ago, the Jin Dynasty replaced the Wei Dynasty. Wasn't that a haze for the turtle bandits?

This is very possible. The turtle bandits are nothing but troublemakers and nothing strange happens to them.

He pondered: "I can't confirm it yet, so I'll leave my doubts here. Besides, the Lantern Festival is originally very important. At the beginning, the imperial edict said that the princes of the world should come to the capital and watch the lanterns in the capital on the Lantern Festival. That is, the Lantern Festival. It’s the time when all the princes and the royal family come together at the most. I hope it’s the most important time in the world where all the important people come together. It’s really suitable for big events.”

He thought of the time at Kongliang Mountain. That time they held a sword fighting competition to test Sunset Manor. As a result, the Changshou Society took the opportunity to cause trouble and wiped out most of the slave owners. This can be regarded as a mistake, and it saved them a lot of trouble in the subsequent strategy.

It can be seen that taking advantage of people gathering to launch a surprise attack to take away a large number of important people, thus completely changing the power structure, is a traditional and easy-to-use method. It is very classic and is still the preferred strategy for turning the tables against the wind.

The only problem is that this is a world where those in high positions are mostly strong. Except for the royal family who have the protection of the national master, the young emperor and the queen mother are relatively weak. The other princes are all swordsmen. Even if they don't bring anyone around them, even if they are asked to disarm and go in without their swords during the banquet, It is also very difficult to deal with all these people. What can't you do if you really have this strength? It would be easier to subdue the emperor's family first, then divide them up and bleed them one by one than it would be for a group of swordsmen to gather together and kill them.

Unless there are some special means, such as...poisoning? Like, some kind of rule? For another example...

Tang Zhao thought of the means by which Marquis Gao Yuan was disappeared. Can that kind of method make more swordsmen disappear?

If this method can trap these big shots by surprise without killing them, even if they just trap them, what will be the consequences?

I'm afraid the world is going to be in turmoil. If someone seizes this opportunity to cause trouble, it may not be a disaster. Of course, the prerequisite is to pass the national master level.

When Tang Zhao mentioned Fan Tian, ​​he felt more and more that he was a turtle bandit.

It's an inexplicable certainty. In fact, until now, there is no evidence connecting the turtle bandits with what happened in the capital. Even because of Che Lin's previous foreshadowing, the Demon Sect is more suspicious than the turtle bandits, but Tang Zhao just feels that they are the turtle bandits. He always felt that he had no personal grudges or interests and simply wanted to disrupt the capital and the world. It would make sense if he was a turtle bandit.

Tang Zhao marked this point on his glasses and put it together with the points he had thought of before, and said: "It is difficult to speculate on their purpose now. But I have a feeling that six days may be too long to find the prince. Well, we may have to find the prince before the fifteenth day, maybe only two days."

Xing Ji pondered: "Yes. They kidnapped Junhou probably to force her to find the auspiciousness, and the auspiciousness will be used for their important events during the Lantern Festival. Regardless of whether Junhou can find the auspiciousness, once the Lantern Festival is over, I'm afraid It's useless to them, so how can they keep the prince?" When he said this, he gritted his teeth and looked a little ferocious, "Right now, they don't know how to force the prince, they just found her a moment later. , it made her suffer so much... Damn it!" He swung his sword down fiercely, and the sword split the air, making a sound like a tiger's roar.

Tang Zhao had an idea at this time: Could it be that what they are looking for is not auspiciousness?

Of course, auspiciousness is very important and will have symbolic meaning in this turbulent time. However, is it too hasty to go to find auspiciousness two days in advance? The auspicious wind has been blowing for so many days. Gao Yuanhou could have found auspiciousness a long time ago. She didn't just leave Yunzhou. If it was just for her eyes, why didn't she intercept her earlier?

Moreover, if that person really has foresight, then he should know that if he looks for auspiciousness now, he really cannot find it. Zhu Ying, the auspicious person, has now gone to the front line, and is vaguely protected by the Sword Immortal or above. How can a mortal just get involved? Marquis Gao Yuan could not see Zhu Ying, but suffered a backlash and his eyes were bleeding. This was not because she was pretending, but because she was really powerless.

If you really want to plan for something big, then auspiciousness is an important part. Putting your hopes on the temporarily kidnapped Marquis Gao Yuan, isn't this making fun of your own wealth and life?

Tang Zhao felt more and more that this auspicious rumor might really be a cover. Perhaps the black hand who is suspected of being able to disturb time has learned some clues about Zhu Ying, and may even know that she is in the Northeast, but has no particular desire to find her.

If this is determined, then maybe his purpose is...

Marquis Gao Yuan!

At least one of the targets was Gao Yuanhou.

If it is the same person who kidnapped Marquis Gao Yuan, killed people in the capital and played tricks on the Taoist palace, then his motive was not trivial. The real purpose was definitely not Marquis Gao Yuan himself, but to use her as some kind of tool. After all, Marquis Gao Yuan's sword is too special, and it may be difficult to replace it in the world. It may have really become a link in a conspiracy.

If this is the case, one good thing is that the king may be safe before the important event of the Lantern Festival. But after the Lantern Festival, the king may not be able to escape disaster.

Only two days left!

Tang Zhao felt that time was very urgent and took a deep breath.

The time of the Lantern Festival was determined, but the remaining clues were not enough for them to analyze who the black hand was, let alone the location where Gao Yuanhou was imprisoned. The investigation still needs to continue.

The first is to track down the place where Marquis Gao Yuan disappeared. In fact, he had just finished interrogating the Four Qing Hous, and many things were already clear. Tang Zhao could not guarantee that he would gain anything just by going to the scene to investigate again. At that time, we will need to use the means left by Gao Yuanhou.

There is another thing that must be done, and that is to dig out the other clues in this brief letter.

Tang Zhao carefully read the written letter on his glasses, searching carefully, trying to find clues in the words. After a while, he said: "There are three people mentioned in the letter. The eldest brother, the second brother, and Baoyinghou. The eldest brother is the mastermind behind the scenes. Baoyinghou is the third sister, so who is the second brother?"

Xing Ji nodded and said: "This is a clue. But we only know that this person is in the northeast of the city. 'Go to the northeast of the city and hand it over to the second brother...' Looking at this wording, he should live in the east of the city. He has a fixed location in the northeast of the city. You can come to your residence. Marquis Baoying will definitely not come to the capital often. If she only comes here once in a while, this place should be more eye-catching."

He tapped the back of his other hand with his hand and said: "Actually, there is another clue. Baoyinghou is nominally a prince, and his status is definitely not low. If you want to befriend her and be a brother in name, then it is definitely not Just being older than her is fine. You also have to have a certain status, even higher than one of the princes..."

The two looked at each other and Tang Zhao said: "I thought of someone."
