Chapter 421 Derivation and Speculation
Two years have passed, but Zhang Xuezhou still has fresh memories of what happened that day.
That was the first time he saw the top cultivators fighting.
There is the elusive Emperor Jing, the Peacock King Ming Dynasty who shows his protection, Kong Ning, Jinchang, and even your Majesty.
It is almost impossible for anyone to resist the power of His Majesty's eyes. The instant blindness has caused many people to lose all their fighting power.
In the blind state, not many people can see the confrontation clearly, and even fewer people survive.
Zhang Xuezhou did not observe everything in place. He still combined Wu Chao's description to complete the battlefield scene at that time.
"Why do you ask these things?" Zhang Xuezhou asked.
“Curious!” Dong Zhongshu replied in a low voice.
“What’s so curious about the past?” Zhang Xuezhou waved his hand and shook his head and said, “There is no need to investigate after the dust has settled.”
"Don't!"
Dong Zhongshu looked at Zhang Xuezhou, who refused simply, and felt that the other party was probably afraid that the court would still pursue him, and he needed to check with Zhang Xuezhou to see if he had returned.
Many things have indeed been decided, and many people seem to have forgotten everything.
The war in the north eventually turned into a frictional confrontation, almost returning to the daily routine of the evil country and the Han country.
No one wants to find out the reason why the war broke out, and no one wants to trace the whereabouts of Hou Bugui, Jinchang and others.
Under this situation, the imperial court no longer had any need for Zhang Xuezhou.
What's more, the prince led a delegation to arrest Cuo Bugui and did not obtain any useful information from him, so it was impossible to carry out such a thing with great fanfare.
Zhang Xuezhou's worries are unnecessary, but for people like Zhang Xuezhou who are outside the court, they may still live in panic without the other party knowing the information.
Thinking of the other person saying that he had had a hard time in the past two years, Dong Zhongshu felt that he understood, and even more so the reason why the other person didn't want to mention such a thing.
"Here's the thing..."
If it were the old fools in the imperial court, they would definitely use unequal information to deceive Zhang Xuezhou, and even go so far as to coerce and coerce him.
But Dong Zhongshu upholds righteousness and practices. He can clearly distinguish between right and wrong in his character. Many of the things he does are grand, not to mention deceiving young people.
He murmured in a low voice, and even used his magic sound transmission ability to mention some of his doubts.
“Do you have any doubts?”
After saying these words, Zhang Xuezhou’s heart couldn’t help but beat loudly.
Before he went to Chang'an City to spy, Dong Zhongshu had relevant information here.
This made him not be as perfunctory as before, and he kept thinking about the situation that day.
"I suspect something happened, but I have no evidence" Dong Zhongshu said via voice transmission: "I want to find out, and I also want to be wise and protect myself!"
"Are you in danger now?" Zhang Xuezhou asked lowly.
“The Sacred Heart is unpredictable. One moment’s guest is a guest, the next moment is a dead soul, who can tell clearly!”
Dong Zhongshu looked in the direction of Chang'an City.
Zhou Taiwei is obviously such a case.
The sensation caused by Zhou Taiwei's rebellion was huge. It not only shocked the court, but also spread to all parts of the Han Dynasty. The major vassal states also waited and watched, and even reported to hostile countries.
As the greatest contributor to the suppression of civil strife among the major princes, Zhou Taiwei died under an imperial edict, which could not help Dong Zhongshu not being shocked.
As for what Emperor Jing told him, he directly agreed without saying a word.
Dong Zhongshu also had difficulties at this time as to how to handle Emperor Jing's affairs and how to satisfy Emperor Jing's requirements.
What he needs now is not to verify the relationship between Wen County Sheriff's establishment of the Academy, but to truly understand the Sacred Heart.
Only by knowing what Emperor Jing wants can he avoid possible problems.
“Are you saying that His Majesty’s mind is unpredictable and his mind is not normal at this time?” Zhang Xuezhou asked in a low voice.
“You need to use the unfathomable sacred heart to describe this kind of thing.” Dong Zhongshu corrected: “Whenever you say something like this in Chang’an City and someone overhears and informs you, your head will fall off.”
"Okay!" After learning a piece of useful information from Dong Zhongshu, Zhang Xuezhou felt that this was very similar to His Majesty's guess that Emperor Jing's behavior was a little crazy, and it was completely supported by the comparison of the content.
This allowed Zhang Xuezhou to learn important information before even going to Chang'an City.
He likes this safe way of getting information.
It can make people like Dong Zhongshu feel deeply that they have to be on guard against Emperor Jing to protect their own safety. This can almost guess what Emperor Jing's current situation is like.
Although this is a piece of guessed information, it comes from Dong Zhongshu and is not a wild guess.
"Is your Majesty in good health?" Zhang Xuezhou asked in a low voice.
"Very good" Dong Zhongshu responded: "But it's so good that he even seemed not to be affected by the Lingnan incident. This makes it difficult for me to understand, so I want to ask you clearly, His Majesty and His Majesty at that time The scene when the giant snakes with human faces are fighting!”
Dong Zhongshu’s real doubt lies in this.
He felt that Emperor Jing must have been injured before he killed His Majesty's Dharmakaya. It was impossible that he had not suffered any trauma.
But the Emperor Jing he saw in the palace in Chang'an City did not have any injuries.
This strange feeling made Dong Zhongshu feel stunned.
And Emperor Jing’s unpredictable Sacred Heart also made it difficult for him to resist.
He didn't want to end up like Zhou Taiwei, so there was a need to figure out the problem.
What he wanted to ask Zhang Xuezhou for at the moment was whether Emperor Jing was injured at the time.
"She must have been injured!"
Zhang Xuezhou thought for a few seconds before confirming the answer.
“His weapons were all damaged, and he was chased and beaten by His Majesty in his dying struggle!”
“Are you really sure that Your Majesty was injured at that time?”
"She must have suffered some injuries!"
"Then..."
Dong Zhongshu's heart was filled with waves, and huge waves were beating against his soul.
A judgment suddenly appeared in his mind that he could hardly believe.
Is the His Majesty in the palace the real Emperor Jing?
If His Majesty is the fake Emperor Jing, where has the real Emperor gone?
"Where did your Majesty go?"
If Emperor Jing was injured, some things would be understandable.
At least Dong Zhongshu understood why Emperor Jing wanted to kill Taiwei Zhou.
For the dying Captain Zhou, this may be the last remaining use in his life.
One can kill ruthlessly, and the other can bear it calmly without any resistance.
Just like when Chao Cuo was killed when he was besieged by the seven vassal states, top-level tricks were played and many people were confused by death.
Dong Zhongshu thought about his head carefully and felt that he was not involved in many related matters and could not use them if he wanted to. This made him feel relieved.
"If His Majesty's injury cannot be healed, what will happen to the situation?"
When Dong Zhongshu attributed the Majesty he saw during the interview to the Holy Spirit to an impostor, he couldn't help but guess. Emperor Jing’s current situation.
When it comes to the situation where Zhou Taiwei needs to be killed, Emperor Jing is likely to die.
"Your Majesty is dead, then His Highness the Crown Prince cannot be replaced. The Crown Prince cannot be replaced, then..."
In the fog-like scene, Dong Zhongshu quickly found his future direction after obtaining supporting evidence.
