Chapter 2168 Mysterious Visitor 16.0

"Are you crazy?" Shen Cha opened the bamboo tube and poured out a roll of paper with words densely packed on it. She looked at Hei Luer, raised her eyebrows slightly, and said, "Is this the channel of Commander Hei?"

"No, it's the channel through the adoptive father." Hei Lu'er sighed softly and said, "The adoptive father also arranged someone beside Wanyan Qingmu. This person has been following Wanyan Qingmu for many years, but who is it? I don’t know. The young master also understands that in our industry, the fewer people who know his true identity, the safer he is. Three times. And there is an urgent method, which shows that the situation is very critical. "

Shen Cha didn't speak, but looked at the content on the note carefully. After reading it, she couldn't help but rub her eyes. The words on it were too small, and it was very difficult for her to read them.

"I roughly understand that after Wanyan Qingmu slept for a night, he suddenly went crazy, completely unconscious, and didn't even recognize anyone, right?"

"That's what the note said. It also said that he was obviously lighting a brazier and wrapped in a thick cotton jacket. His face was dripping with sweat and he was complaining about being cold. When he was wrapped in a quilt again, he put the person He kicked him away and said that someone was trying to murder him. When it was time for dinner, he would go to every tent to make trouble, steal people's food, or overturn other people's dining tables. According to the above statement, the camp outside Yiqing Mansion is already full of mourning and complaints. "

"Well" Shen Cha thought for a while, exchanged glances with Shen Haolin and Xue Ruitian, then looked at Hei Lu'er and smiled, "It doesn't matter what he did, just rely on your own intuition. Tell me, do you think he is Are you really crazy, or are you just pretending?”

"I"

"It was your first reaction when you received this news." Shen Haolin added, "No need to analyze, just rely on your own heart."

"Just pretending." Hei Luer shrugged, sighed softly, and said, "To be honest, my first reaction when I received the news was that he was pretending to be crazy. But after seeing the content above, I hesitated again. Is it true that someone can pretend to be crazy and not be afraid of pretending to be crazy until the end?”

"It's basically what we thought. At present, it seems that he is probably pretending to be crazy." Shen Cha touched his chin and said, "This is the first secret letter I have received, right?"

"Yes, I just received it."

"Okay, let's see if we receive the second and third letters next, and see how long Wanyan Qingmu's madness lasts." Shen Cha thought for a while and looked at Jin Miaomiao, "Finished Is it possible that Aunt Yan Ping’s poison caused him to go crazy?”

Jin Miaomiao came to Xue Ruitian's side and read the letter. When she heard Shen Cha's question, she shook her head slightly.

"It's impossible. Her voodoo can at most make Wanyan Qingmu uncomfortable for a few days without causing a drastic change in temperament, let alone going crazy." She thought for a moment, "There aren't many voodoos in the world that can make people crazy. There are tribes in the southwest, but these tribes live in seclusion in the mountains and forests all year round, and they are almost impossible to find. More importantly, only those tribes can control these Gu insects, and no one else can."

"Southwestern tribe." Shen Cha thought for a moment, "Aren't the two brothers from the He family from the southwestern tribe?"

"General, please pay attention to the key words, deep mountains and old forests." Jin Miaomiao sighed, "In other words, such a tribe is still in the state of savage life, and the tribe of the He family brothers has long since escaped from that situation. "

Hei Luer looked at Jin Miaomiao, smiled, and said, "Is this Master Huilan's disciple?"

"Master Hei knows about me?"

"I know, a few years ago, I had the honor to meet the master once, and heard the master mention it." Hei Lu'er thought for a while, "That time, the master and his adoptive father were competing because of something, and both of them became anxious. The master said proudly , he found a very spiritual apprentice who could pass on his legacy, and then he laughed at his adoptive father, saying that he could never find anyone he liked in his life. "He sighed softly, "My adoptive father became anxious when he heard that. If you want to fight with the master, it is better for your uncle to be on the side and persuade them to leave. He has accepted me as his adopted son, so he can pass on the inheritance."

"Uncle King Jing is right. Commander Black is indeed the legacy of Uncle Chu Han."

"Hey!" Hei Lu'er waved his hand, "You don't know, they are not talking about the same thing. What the master is talking about is the inheritance of his own skills. The adoptive father feels that the master is mocking him and his brother for having no heirs." He had a look on his face. Helpless, "However, after meeting this Master Jin today, I feel that what the master said is right. His mantle has indeed been passed down."

"How can you see this?" Jin Miaomiao shook her head helplessly, "Don't talk about me, let's talk about Wanyan Qingmu. Just now I thought of something, maybe Wanyan Qingmu's Gu insects will make him crazy."

"What is it?" Shen Cha looked at her curiously, "Didn't you say that it only exists in the deep mountains and old forests in the southwest?"

"There is an extremely special exception." Jin Miaomiao thought for a while, "You all know that Wanyan Qingmu was saved by Wanyan Ping's aunt using Gu insects due to congenital deficiencies, but you don't know about his physical condition. How many types of Gu are there, right?" She looked at Hei Lu'er, "Does Master Hei know anything about Wanyan Qingmu's physical condition?"

"I don't know much about it, but I have heard some rumors." Hei Lu'er thought for a moment, "When Wanyan Qingmu was born, the princess had a difficult delivery, and Wanyan Ping's aunt was the one who helped. It seems that it has been used since then. Wanyan Qingmu's health was not very good after he was born. During several life-or-death situations, Wanyan Ping's aunt saved him from death. He was brought back from hell, but no one can tell clearly how to cure it. The people in the palace are very strict, and we can't say anything at all. "

"No need to use clichés, I can understand it more or less." Jin Miaomiao sighed, "The special case I just mentioned is his situation. Gu insects can save lives, and they can save many lives, but there is a very fatal problem. , once there are more than three Gu worms in a person's body at the same time, there is a possibility of going crazy. Many years ago, there was an example of this, and in the end this patient went crazy and died. "

"So, do you think Wanyan Qingmu may be the reason?"

"We can't rule it out." Jin Miaomiao nodded, "Both pretending to be crazy and causing real madness due to the coexistence of multiple Gu worms are possible. We still need to observe slowly."

Hei Luer thanked Mei Lin who poured him tea, picked up the tea bowl, looked at Jin Miaomiao, and nodded lightly.

"I wonder if Miss A Piao has mentioned it to the young master, the Duke and the Marquis. In the past year or so, especially after Wanyan and Prince Wen passed away, Wanyan Qingmu's temperament has changed drastically." "Speaking of which, Yes, but not much. It just means that it is completely inconsistent with the image of the gentle and gentle young man before. "

"Miss A Piao is either in the Regent's Mansion or in the palace. She doesn't have much contact with the royal family and nobles outside, so her experience is not that profound." Hei Luer put down the teacup in his hand and introduced Wanyan to them seriously. Qingmu, "The first time I met Wanyan Qingmu was not long after he truly conquered the Hei family. At a palace banquet, Wanyan and Prince Wen brought him to meet me."

"What's your first impression?" Shen Cha glanced at Hei Lu'er curiously, then poured a cup of tea for Shen Haolin, "Don't you like it?"

"Not to mention that I don't like him. I think he is not as innocent as he appears on the surface." Hei Lu'er chuckled, "Sure enough, after Wanyan and Prince Wen passed away, he gradually revealed his true colors." He After thinking for a while, he said, "You all think that Wanyan and Prince Wen were actually killed by Wanyan Ping's little sister, right?" Seeing Shen Haolin, Shen Cha and Xue Ruitian nodding, he shook his head gently, "Wanyan Qingmu colluded with Wanyan Ping's aunt to do it, and the poison on Wanyan and Prince Wen was not just a day or two, it was at least seven or eight years old. "

"What?" Jin Miaomiao looked at Hei Lu'er in surprise, completely unable to believe what he heard, "Seven or eight years? This is too ridiculous, isn't it? Didn't he notice it himself? He invited him here when he was sick. The imperial doctor can’t see it at all?”

"The poison prepared by Aunt Wanyanping herself uses things from her clan, which are rarely noticed by ordinary people, and have not even been heard of. What's more, they themselves know that they want to deceive others, so they use it every day. At that point, it’s impossible to feel anything at all.”

"A little adds up, a little bit every day, and over time, it will have the desired effect."

"Master Jin is right. It all depends on time. It took them seven or eight years to finally achieve their goal. They are also very tenacious." Hei Luer sighed, looked at the other people, and said , "This is not what we are making up, this is what Wanyan Qingmu said himself."

"You said it yourself?"

"Yes." Hei Lu'er nodded, "The second night after Wanyan and Prince Wen were buried, it was almost this time. Wanyan Qingmu got drunk for a rare occasion and talked a lot of drunken words. This is the biggest secret. They say you tell the truth when you’re drunk, so it’s probably not a lie.”

"Did your people send it back?"

"Both my people and my adoptive father's people have sent back the same news. It is estimated that the families who arranged people around Wanyan Qingmu basically know about it. It's just that they followed his wishes and forced Wanyan Zongcheng to We went to Daxia and Liao with Wanyan Ping to get an explanation. However, it was precisely because of this that we found out that Wanyan Qingmu hated his father so much."

"I heard it's because of the princess?"

"No." Hei Lu'er shook his head gently and said softly, "That's just an excuse to fool outsiders, making them think that he is a person who loves his mother deeply and is angry with his father because of his mother. . In fact, he has no impression of the princess. How could he resent his father who lives with him every day? It’s unreasonable to think about it.”

"So, is it really because of the throne?"

"Yes." Hei Luer nodded, took a sip from the tea bowl, and continued, "Actually, he is very ambitious. According to our subsequent investigation, his dissatisfaction with Wanyan and Prince Wen was precisely because the prince wanted The throne can be taken back to Wan Yanxi, but this is the prince's promise to the eldest prince, and it is extremely important in the prince's heart. "

"Wanyan Qingmu doesn't recognize this."

"Yeah, he doesn't recognize this, so he feels that his father has done so many things for others, and doesn't take himself seriously at all. He is very angry and dissatisfied." Hei Lu'er said lightly. He sighed softly and said helplessly, "And the people around him are not good people. They all encouraged him to kill his father and become the leader. They said that you should fight for what you want instead of relying on others. So, he I started planning very early and wanted to replace my father.”

“Sure enough, a person cannot be judged by his appearance!”

"That's true." Hei Lu'er nodded, "Later on, I had more contact with him. Although his health was indeed not very good, he would have to ask the imperial doctor for help in the middle of the night soon, but this As long as a person is alive, he will keep looking for trouble and tormenting others, as if in this way he can prove that he is right and that he is alive. "

"That's just paranoia." Xue Ruitian curled his lips in disgust, "You're the typical person who can't live a happy life and doesn't let others live a happy life, right?"

"That's right." Hei Lu'er nodded, "He was obviously the real culprit who caused the death of Wanyan and Prince Wen, but he was shouting in the court every day about sending troops to Liao or Daxia. He completely lost his previous indifference to the world. Feeling. Coupled with Wanyan Zongcheng's death and Wanyanping's entry into the palace, he was even more dissatisfied. He did not hide his ambition for the throne. He said more than once in the court meeting that Wanyanping was not worthy of the position. "

"This is really courageous!"

"That's right!" Hei Lu'er nodded, "He is so bold because he knows that Wanyan Ping will not attack him and can do nothing except incompetence and rage."

"Because he let everyone know that he was at odds with Wanyanping. Once something happened to him or had an accident, even if he was assassinated, even if the assassination was unsuccessful, Wanyanping would be involved. Wan Yanping wants to defend himself, but he can't." Xue Ruitian sneered, "He is cruel and ruthless. If he really becomes the Golden King, life will not be easy for you people."

"He has never been having a good time. To be honest, he is not crazy just now. He has been crazy since then." Hei Lu'er sneered and said, "As long as he has a bad life, he will let the palace People come out to mess around, either asking for a fight today, or causing trouble on the street tomorrow, and I handled all of this before the Yiqing Prefecture was surrounded. "

"The common people probably didn't expect that Prince Wanyan Qingmu, who has been docile for more than twenty years, would actually become like this, right?"

"Yes!" Hei Lu'er sighed, "It's better now. He's even more crazy. If he is really crazy, I hope he blows up his camp. This will save us. It’s a hassle.”
