The three of Chu Huan looked at each other, then raised their hands and said, "Please!"

The four of them entered the room, and after they were seated, Luo Duo had already cut to the chase and asked: "Virubocha, you said Qingtian King has a big problem, why?" He frowned and said, "Have you seen Qingtian King?"

Viliuboch said solemnly: "Because I never saw King Qingtian from the beginning to the end, this is a big problem."

"Oh?"

Viliubozha said: "After the poor monk left Jinling, he went to Hebei and found the residence of King Qingtian. King Qingtian built his palace on a mountain, and all the roads on the mountain were guarded. It is very strict, and it is not easy to go up the mountain.”

Luo Duo said with a smile: "It is not easy for others, but for you, there is no difficulty."

"The poor monk lurked up the mountain and entered the Qingtian King's palace. I thought I could find out a clue, but...!" Vilubocha shook his head and said: "But at the beginning, there was no clue. .”

"Since you have entered the palace, why haven't you seen King Qingtian?" Liuli asked, "Isn't King Qingtian in the palace?"

"There is indeed a King Qingtian in the palace." Viliubo said, "Everyone in Hebei knows that when King Qingtian meets his subordinates, he likes to wear cloth shirts and robes, and every time he appears, he will wear a mask."

Liuli chuckled lightly and said, "It's just to maintain a sense of mystery, and use this method to make the subordinates unable to figure out him, and to increase their own deterrent power."

Viliuboch shook his head and said: "According to what the poor monk learned, King Qingtian always showed his true face to others at the beginning, and his generals were very familiar with his face. It is useless to intimidate the subordinates, on the contrary, it will cause dissatisfaction among the subordinates and make it difficult to be united." After a pause, he said: "King Qingtian was born in a reckless family, and the generals under his command followed him very early on, most of them are him. The heroes of the rivers and lakes who traveled around the world back then, wanted to win over this group of people, focusing on a word of righteousness, and the group of people under him went through life and death for him, precisely because of righteousness."

Luo Duo nodded slightly, and said: "I have heard many rumors about King Qingtian before. It is said that this person is a hero and a hero, and he is very brave to his friends. Anyone who makes friends with him will be daring to him, and I am willing to do it for him." go through fire and water."

"The four princes of Qingtian are all the people in the world that he made friends with back then." Chu Huan finally said: "On the surface, this person is indeed very loyal to his friends." After a pause, he said: "Meiniang was his subordinate back then. One of the four princes is the Red Snake Hou among the four princes, who was born and died for King Qingtian for many years."

"Oh?" Vilubocha was taken aback, obviously he didn't know anything about Meiniang, and asked, "But who is Meiniang?"

Luo Duo explained: "That is already the inner room of the Dragon King."

"So that's how it is." Vilubocha immediately understood, "Since this is the case, the Dragon King should know a lot about Qingtian King."

"Meiniang did talk about some of this person's early deeds. As you just said, he made friends with heroes in the world in the early years, and he was eager for justice. After the incident, those people contributed money and effort to be with him." Chu Huan said : "During the first uprising, it was quickly extinguished by the officers and soldiers, but after the second uprising, it was victorious, even defeated Han Santong, and controlled the entire Hebei Road in one fell swoop." After a pause, he said: " However, after this person took control of Hebei Road, his temperament seemed to have changed. The four princes who followed him in the early years suffered some exclusion. He vigorously promoted new recruits in the army, and since then he has sealed several princes, weakening the power in the hands of the four princes. Back then, he entered the palace to assassinate Prince Mahazang of Xiliang. He was arrested and died in the desert. Now there is only one Blue Lion Marquis who can conquer and fight well."

Viliuboch nodded and said: "What the Dragon King knows, I have roughly investigated and found out that among the four princes of Qingtian back then, there was indeed only one Qingshihou who was still in charge of the army. In addition, Qingtian King promoted five or six new princes. People are not ordinary people."

Luo Duo asked: "Viluborcha, just now you said that there is a Qingtian King in the Qingtian Palace, and you said that you have never seen Qingtian King, what is going on? Since he is in the palace, with your skills, how could you Can't see him?"

"The Qingtian King in the palace, the poor monk did see it." Viliubozha said: "At the beginning, the poor monk was worried about scaring the snake, so he didn't ask to act rashly, but just observed secretly. Now in the palace, many things are indeed happening. It was handled by the Qingtian King, and every time he met with his subordinates, he would wear robes and masks...!" Turning to Chu Huan, he asked, "Dragon King, do you like Qingtian King very much?" To understand, do you know when he started wearing the mask?"

Chu Huan thought about it for a while, but Mei Niang had told him about this in detail before, she pondered for a while, and said, "That was a long time ago. I just said that the Black Jiaohou once assassinated Xiliang Maha Zang, The two countries were negotiating peace at that time. In order to show their sincerity, Qin State handed over the Hei Jiaohou to the embassy, ​​and the envoy escorted him to Xiliang. However, we did not expect that King Qingtian would personally go out to rescue Hei Jiaohou. He is Mei Niang's elder brother, and he also followed the mission with King Qingtian, looking for opportunities to rescue him." After a pause, he thought for a while before continuing: "In the desert, the mission encountered a tornado, King Qingtian took the opportunity to make a move, he had already snatched the Heijiaohou, but a man in black robe appeared on the sidewalk and snatched the Heijiaohou away. At that time, there was a mess, King Qingtian chased after the black robe and lost his trace. Later Mei Niang told me that after King Qingtian caught up with Heipao, he had a great battle with Heipao. Afterwards, King Qingtian put on a mask, not wanting people to see his damaged face."

"So that's how it is." Viliuboch nodded slightly: "No wonder Qingtian King wore a mask from beginning to end. It turned out that his face had been destroyed. From this point of view, the Qingtian King that the poor monk saw was naturally fake."

"Fake?" Chu Huan and the three of them all showed a hint of doubt.

Viliubozha explained: "The poor monk has been observing King Qingtian secretly for a long time. This person's daily life is very regular. He eats and rests on time, and only meets his subordinates at the prescribed time. Whenever there is something, he handles it in an orderly manner. , the poor monk saw that he was very shrewd and organized, at first he really thought that this man was the Qingtian King, but... the poor monk had a difficult question in his heart."

"A difficult question?"

"As far as the poor monk knows, King Qingtian was born in the Jianghu. When he was walking in the Jianghu, he was quite famous in the Jianghu." Viliu Bocha said slowly: "He can make friends with heroes in the Jianghu, except for his boldness. His temperament and generous shots, logically speaking, his martial arts will definitely not be weak."

"Martial arts are definitely not weak." Chu Huan immediately said: "I have seen King Qingtian's skills in the Great Desert with my own eyes. In my heart, it may be slightly inferior to you guys, but compared to Garuda or even Yasha King , King Qingtian will definitely not be at a disadvantage."

"That's it." Viliuboch sighed: "But the Qingtian King that the poor monk saw in the Qingtian Palace, although it seems that he has practiced martial arts for several years, but in the Jianghu, he is only a second- or third-rate at best. Skills, the poor monk walked in and out of his room freely every night, he didn't even notice it, and several times when he was sleeping, the poor monk approached the side of his bed, he didn't know anything about it."

Luo Duo and Chu Huan looked at each other, both showing doubts, and asked, "So, is that King Qingtian pretending to be someone?"

Vilubocha said: "This person sent people to snatch the dragon relic, naturally he has a great purpose, so the poor monk didn't want to startle the snake, he just wanted to investigate in secret, to see what kind of medicine he was selling in the gourd. But the poor monk was For a long time in the palace, he has never been involved in matters related to dragon relics. That night, the poor monk deliberately wrote the word "six dragons" on the paper in his house, in order to secretly observe his reaction when he saw these two words. When I reached those two words, there was... no response!"

Chu Huan frowned and said, "According to this, there is only one possibility. The Qingtian King you saw is just a substitute. The real Qingtian King is not in the palace."

"There is another possibility." Liuli suddenly said: "The real Qingtian King may be like that. The Qingtian King Dragon King saw in the desert, although his martial arts are high, he is not the real Qingtian King."

Chu Huan was startled, and looked at Liuli, who had already said, "The Hebei army was able to quickly spread out and even defeat Qin's elite officers and soldiers. A tall man, but his martial arts are not very good."

Hearing this, Chu Huan also felt that Liuli's words were not unreasonable, so he nodded slightly and said, "It's very possible." Then he thought, Meiniang had followed King Qingtian in her early years, and she had personally said that the man in the Great Desert was the real one. Qing Tianwang, there should be no falsehood, unless Mei Niang lied to herself from the beginning and deliberately deceived herself.

"Virubocha, can you interrogate that man yourself?" Luodo finally asked.

Viliuboch nodded and said: "The doubts in it can only be explained by himself. That night, the poor monk captured him and opened his mask...!" After glancing at several people, he said : "The man is in his early forties, he looks gentle, there is no scar on his face, and he is not flustered when facing the poor monk."

"King Qingtian put on the mask because his face was injured. Since this person's face is not injured, he must not be the one in the desert." Chu Huan immediately said.

Liuli suddenly asked: "Dragon King, King Qingtian admitted that he wore the mask because of injuries on his face, did you just learn about it from Mei Niang?"

Chu Huan nodded slightly, and said, "That's right." Feeling that there was something else in Liuli's tone, he frowned and said, "Do you think Meiniang is lying to me?"

"You misunderstood." Liuli shook her head and said, "I didn't say that Mei Niang lied to you. Since she has already married you, for a woman who has already given you everything, there should be no need to lie to you. But...Meiniang didn't lie to you, it doesn't mean Qingtian King didn't lie to Meiniang."
