They say it's sick

Chapter 75

Chen Jin stared at Yunzhi for a while, then narrowed his eyes: "Do you know something?"

"That's not counting, I just...received a letter..." Yunzhi casually tied up her undried long hair, walked to the desk, and picked up the book, "By the way, I chatted with Brother Li for a while." Yes, I remembered something and suddenly had some guesses."

Chen Jin frowned, his eyes slightly confused: "What letter?"

"A...very interesting letter, but the contents of the letter cannot be verified yet..." Yunzhi flipped through the book in her hand and said, "Brother Li once said that before we arrived in the capital, there was a You were thieves, do you remember when?"

"Of course I remember. It's only a few days before the new year, and it's not yet the fifteenth day. The son was killed not long ago, just enough time for the news to reach the capital..."

Chen Jin recalled, "Didn't you feel that there was something strange at the time, but you didn't have any clues, so you didn't look into it... Is that rumor a clue?"

"It's not exactly, but it's a reminder to me. According to the current situation of this room, even if there are thieves who come looking for things. Unless you look through the books one by one, they will return empty-handed. So that seemingly worthless but very important thing might still be here..."

Yun Zhi closed the book in her hand, shook her head lightly, and sighed a little, "Actually, when I felt something strange that day, I should have checked this room carefully, but there were too many things to check at that time. Big brother’s traces were intentionally or unintentionally neglected.”

Chen Jin turned his eyes and scanned the messy room in front of him for several months, and sighed softly in his heart.

Yun Zhi seems to have gradually stepped out of the haze of that day, especially because of Li Yan's appearance, she is even more relaxed and happy than before.But no matter when, Yunji is still a knot in his heart.

After a little hesitation, Chen Jin opened his mouth: "Actually, it may not be negligence, after all, I don't know if there is such a thing, even if we searched the house carefully that day, maybe we still can't find it." I can't find anything, I'm wasting my energy and I'm still... sad..."

"These traces will disappear one day, but as long as I am still alive, there will be people in this world who will remember him, so these things are not so important..." Yun Zhi took a deep breath, "As for whether the effort was wasted or not? , you have to put in some effort first.”

Having reached this point, Chen Jin has no reason to refuse, and simply nodded: "Start now?"

Yun Zhi fastened her coat, looked up at Chen Jin: "I've been tossing all the way, don't I need a good night's rest?"

"Are you used to taking care of Li Yan's body?" Chen Jin raised his arms and stretched, "You can only sleep after searching."

"That's good..." Yun Zhi bent down and picked up a book from the desk and threw it into Chen Jin's arms, "Let's begin..."

Holding the book in his hand, Chen Jin looked around and said in disbelief, "Look for everything in the book?"

Since he was a child, he has been sleepy when he touches a book, and he has to face so many books suddenly, even if he doesn't have to read the books, he still finds it somewhat unbearable.

"If that thing really existed, it wouldn't be too conspicuous, or it would have been taken away by that little thief..." Yunzhi nodded, "So in this room... I have seen the pile next to the desk before, and the other ones Look for every one."

Chen Jin gritted his teeth, then took a deep breath: "OK..."

Although this room is not too big, it is the place where Yunji has lived for three years, and there are actually a lot of things in it.

Especially those books, not only appearing on desks or shelves, but also in almost every corner of the room.

In addition, Yun Zhi also lived here for a few months, and added some things for convenience, which he thought were insignificant on weekdays, but now they have become very annoying.

Fortunately, the two of them have known each other for a long time, and they have already developed a tacit understanding without words, which saves the time of division of labor and communication, each chooses a direction, and rummages through books one by one.

For Chen Jin, although this work is time-consuming and requires serious concentration, the biggest problem is to restrain the instinct of getting sleepy when he sees books.

For Yunzhi, these seemingly insignificant things in front of him bear all the imprints of Yunji's life in the capital in the past three years. He often picks up a book and flips it casually, and he can see the annotations made by familiar handwriting. After a trance, continue.

As Yun Zhi expected, that thing was so inconspicuous that the two of them started from just after dark.

Except for a short break when Yunli saw the light on and came to deliver some food on the way, he worked almost non-stop all night. Seeing the sky getting brighter, even Chen Jin, who always prided himself on being energetic, was unavoidably dizzy, with a tired expression on his face. Leaning on a pile of rummaged books, he covered his lips and yawned: "How much more? I'll send someone to deliver something, and continue after eating?"

"No need..." Yun Zhi spread out the book in front of her, "I found it."

"what?!"

Chen Jin, who was still weak last moment, almost bounced up, rushed to Yunzhi and watched him pick up a bright yellow cloth strip that looked a bit like it was torn from somewhere, and stared: "This is ..."

Yun Zhi lowered his eyes slightly, and glanced over the cloth strip: "The imperial edict can also be called a call to arms."

As he spoke, he showed Chen Jin the spread strip of cloth, revealing the dark red handwriting on it.

Probably for the convenience of hiding, the cloth strip is not too big, so the handwriting on it is very small, and it is a continuous dark red, which makes Chen Jin, who is not sober at first, even more dizzy. After reading the contents above carefully, he raised his head and looked at Yun Zhi in a daze: "This is... written by the Holy Majesty to Lord Hou?"

"Yes..." Yunzhi took the cloth back into his palm, and his voice sounded very calm, "Huai'an Wang Xiaoduo only covered the sky with his hands, deceived the king, corrupted the super-gang, and the sage couldn't bear the humiliation, so he wrote this edict to express his hope Yu my father and the Yun family can march south to get rid of Xiao Duo, help the royal family, and stabilize the court."

Speaking of this, he closed his eyes, and sighed a little more in his voice, "No wonder the servant said that when elder brother left the capital to advance to the palace to thank you, he had a night talk with the holy majesty by holding candles, so it was because of this reason."

"You said back then that what the thief was looking for was most likely the reason for the murderous intentions behind the scenes, so it was this edict?"

Chen Jin looked at Yunzhi's face, and slowly recovered from the surprise at seeing the edict, he shook his head to make himself more sober, "The prince has been in the capital for three years without incident, but he is leaving In front of the capital city, the Holy Majesty gave him this edict, intending to use the Yun family to get rid of King Huai'an, but King Huai'an got the news from nowhere, it is absolutely impossible for this edict to reach Youzhou..."

Chen Jin suddenly stopped in the middle of his sentence, and subconsciously raised his head to look at Yun Zhi's face.

Yun Zhi didn't seem to notice it, and took his words naturally: "So he became murderous towards elder brother, monitored his whereabouts all the way, and informed Li Xuan in Pingzhou, instructing him to do it when elder brother entered the boundary of Pingzhou.

After the eldest brother died, they found that the edict was not on the body. After the news was sent back to the capital, they arranged for someone to come here pretending to be a thief to steal the edict and destroy the traces... It sounds really complete and reasonable. "

Chen Jin nodded, and was just about to say something, when he saw Yun Zhi's pensive look, he couldn't help but feel a little strange: "Do you think there is any problem?"

"I was just thinking..." Yunzhi looked down at the edict held in his palm, "Why didn't elder brother bring the edict back to Youzhou?"

Chen Jin frowned and thought for a while: "Perhaps the prince thinks this thing is too important, and he is afraid that something will go wrong along the way... After all, if this thing is found by others, it will be very troublesome whether it is the sage, the prince, or the entire Marquis Mansion. "

"It's very important... It's just such a thin piece, and my elder brother's life is on the line..." Yun Zhi sneered, spread the edict to read the content again, and suddenly looked up at Chen Jin , "Tell me, what will my father do if he receives this edict?"

Chen Jin entered the Marquis Mansion since he was a child, was raised by Yun Ye as his son-in-law, and entered the army early. He was used to carrying out orders and never asked too many questions, but this was the first time he wanted to speculate on Yun Ye's mind. So much so that I only felt at a loss for the first time, and then shook my head lightly after a long while: "I don't know."

"Then..." Yunzhi said again, "If my father listens to the edict in this edict and sends troops south to attack Xiao Duo, what do you think will happen?"

"Although Xiao Duo and I haven't met face to face, I've also heard that he is very good at fighting. He can pacify the Southwest within half a year, and now he controls the government and the military. Unless the generals in other places can respond, we can't rely on him alone." It is very difficult for us in Youzhou to win..." Chen Jin thought about it and said, "And once the news of Lord Hou leading his troops to the south comes out, those small countries in the north will definitely take advantage of it. The next game is empty."

"It seems that I didn't learn the art of war from General Qin for nothing..." Yun Zhi smiled, turned around and looked at the books that had been turned even more messily by them in the room, "Perhaps elder brother read too many books, and His body is a little weaker, so many people have forgotten that he is the son of the Marquis of Zhenyuan, the person who understands the mission of the Yun family best."

Chen Jin seemed to hear something from Yun Zhi's words, but he didn't seem to. Just as he was in a daze, Yun Zhi had already taken off the dusty coat on his body, and took a brand new change from the suitcase. When he went up, he couldn't help being startled: "You have been tossing all night, and you still want to go out without taking a break?"

Yun Zhi washed his face with the cold water in the basin, and when he looked up again, except for his red eyes and the slight blueness under his eyes, there was no sign of not sleeping all night, he re-tied his hair in front of the mirror, and responded casually :"go out……"

Chen Jin was surprised: "Where are you going?"

Yun Zhi met his eyes from the bronze mirror, and slowly replied: "Entering the palace..."
