Seeing Li Canghai coming, everyone saluted him one after another. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The concubines and children of the King of Silla had tears on their faces, and they wept miserably.
"Uncle Wang! Father, the king, he...... He went. The eldest prince took a group of younger brothers and sisters, knelt in front of Li Canghai, choked and cried.
Li Canghai frowned, helped the eldest prince up, and said in a deep voice: "Xitai, immediately block the news, this matter must not be leaked, otherwise it will shake the morale of the army." If Dongying knew about this, he would probably take the opportunity to attack the city desperately! ”
The eldest prince wiped away his tears, he also knew that what Li Canghai said was serious, and after saluting deeply to Li Canghai, he immediately left the back garden.
"The ministers listened to the order, and they were not allowed to reveal half a sentence until the matter was clarified! Now you all go back to your posts, do your own thing, and beware of Dongying taking the opportunity to sneak attack! Li Canghai shouted.
After the death of the king of Silla, the most important speaker in the city was Li Canghai, and after those courtiers bowed down and saluted, they retreated one after another.
After arranging everything, Di Qing pushed Li Canghai and walked forward.
In front of the Buddha hall is an open field, and there is a thick layer of snow falling on the clearing, and in the snow, there are three lines of footprints.
According to Di Qing, after she found the body of King Silla, she immediately had people cordon off the surroundings of the Buddhist hall, which meant that no one else came in except for her and the attendant sitting under the eaves of the Buddhist hall.
Two new lines of footprints on the ground also confirmed his thoughts, those two pairs of footprints were left by the chamberlain and Di Qing, and the remaining row was covered with snow, and the unclear footprints were naturally left by the king of Silla.
Li Canghai came to the front of the Buddha hall, glanced at the attendant who was already pale with fright and trembling, and then let Di Qing push himself to the corridor in front of the door.
However, at this moment, his wooden wheelchair suddenly slid uncontrollably, and hit the threshold with a bang.
Di Qing sighed and hurriedly asked, "Canghai, are you okay?" I forgot that there was a layer of ice on the underside in front of the door, so it was slippery. ”
Li Canghai looked down, and sure enough, he found a layer of ice on the ground, he shook his head, indicating that he was fine, and then pushed the door, but found that the gate was difficult to push at all.
Along the crack in the door, Li Canghai was surprised to find that the door was blocked by a huge Buddha statue.
Li Canghai frowned slightly, he pierced the cardboard paste on the doors and windows with his hand, and from the hole, he could vaguely see the king of Silla leaning on the table leg in front of the Buddhist hall, facing the direction of the door, his head was lowered, and a pool of blood was flowing on his chest.
"Qing'er, try to open the door!" Li Canghai said in a deep voice.
Di Qing nodded, her palms were strong, and then she slammed on the door.
However, the door and window were not pushed open, and the Buddha statue behind the door and window only shook a little.
Di Qing was a little stunned, she frowned slightly and said, "Canghai, that Buddha statue is too heavy, and it is difficult to push it away with my own strength." ”
At this moment, Li Yu and Qi Yunhe, who heard the news, rushed over.
Seeing this, Li Canghai immediately asked Qi Yunhe to come to help.
Combined with Qi Yunhe and the two burly guards, the Buddha statue was finally pushed away.
Li Canghai's expression was solemn, he asked everyone to stay outside the door, and entered the Buddhist hall with Di Qing.
Li Canghai asked Di Qing to push him directly to the corpse of King Silla, and then leaned over to check the corpse of King Silla.
All the rooms in the palace of Silla have a clay kang that Li Canghai was familiar with in his previous life, and the temperature is much higher than that outside. Even in such cold weather, the corpse of King Silla still exuded warmth.
This made it impossible for him to determine the exact time of the death of the king of Silla, but judging from the footprints outside the Buddhist hall, the time of death should have been no more than two hours.
It had been snowing all night, and the footprints could still be seen clearly, and if it had been a long time, the footprints would have been covered with snowflakes.
King Silla had a peculiarly shaped short sword stuck in front of his chest, and Li Canghai carefully pulled out the short sword and carefully observed it.
This short sword is about a foot long, with a peculiar shape, and at the mouth of the swallow is a golden toad, and the blade is thin and extremely sharp.
The cause of the death of the king of Silla was the death of this sword piercing his chest.
"This is the Golden Toad Sword! Didn't my father say that the Golden Toad Sword was an ominous sword that no one was allowed to touch? ”
There was a shout at the door.
Li Canghai looked back and found that it was the third prince Xizhen, who spoke, while the second prince Xiyuan had a solemn face and stared at the golden toad sword with a frown.
"Do you know this weapon?" Li Canghai let them in and asked.
The two knelt in front of the king of Silla at the same time, the second prince did not speak, and the third prince choked up and said: "Uncle Wang doesn't know, this golden toad sword is the treasure of my Silla, but it is also an ominous sword, this sword has always been stored in the treasure house by my father, and my father never allowed us to touch it." ”
"Ominous Sword? What do you mean by that? Li Canghai asked in some surprise.
The third prince was a little hesitant, he bit his lip, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Second brother, let's talk about it." ”
The second prince, Xiyuan, who had not spoken, said with a sad expression: "Uncle doesn't know, this golden toad sword was originally a sharp weapon of my Silla divine weapon, but I don't know when, it became a fierce soldier. According to legend, two hundred years ago, my Silla ancestors conquered the world, killed more than 10,000 people with this sword, thirsted for human blood, and imprisoned countless souls in the sword. Since then, this golden toad sword has become a murder weapon, and over the years, anyone who holds this sword will become mindless, and finally die under the golden toad sword. This sword is actually a cursed fierce sword. ”
The third prince took over the words and said: "This golden toad sword fell into the hands of my father, and my father always thought that this sword was unknown, and he didn't want it to go to the people and kill in vain, so he sealed it in the treasure house. However, why did my father take out the golden toad sword? ”
Li Canghai put down the Golden Toad Sword, he looked at the two of them, frowned, and said, "Do you think that your father was cursed by this Golden Toad Sword and died?" ”
The second prince's face was solemn and he did not speak.
The third prince pursed his lips and cried: "Uncle Wang, my father has always been in good health, if he hadn't been cursed by this fierce sword, how could he have committed suicide?" ”
"How do you decide that your father committed suicide?" Li Canghai asked rhetorically.
The third prince wiped away his tears and choked up: "Uncle Wang, the key to the treasure house where the Golden Toad Sword is sealed has always been kept by my father, who can take the Golden Toad Sword except my father?" What's more, there is only a row of footprints outside, doesn't it mean that only my father has been to this Buddhist hall? ”
Speaking of this, the third prince began to cry again, and he cried: "It must be that my father wanted to use the power of this sword to drive away the Dongying army, but I didn't expect to be cursed, and I was ...... before committing suicide! It's all this golden toad sword that harmed my father! (To be continued.) )
