Chapter 10: Turnaround (5)
Chapter 10: Turning around (5)
After hearing this narrative, Di Renjie couldn't help but sigh deeply. The candlelight swaying on the table was as bright as the darkness, just like the future of the fireworks daughter, always swaying between good and bad luck, fragilely as if a gust of wind could be destroyed. Even if the heart has seven orifices and passion, what can they do when facing the step by step of fate? How many times can they struggle and search, can they really get the rebirth of the clouds and mists? No, no, no, it's just another round of destiny torture.
Breaking the silence, Di Renjie asked in a low voice: "You finally decided to leave Luoyang, right?" Ukdoha's tears were dry. He nodded and replied dullly: "Yes. Although leaving Luoyang requires investigation through the city gate garrison, it is very dangerous, but we have no choice. Stay in Luoyang. Wu Sansi will find us sooner or later, and there will be no way out. We will be dead when we are connected to this child. Xian Ji and I discussed with him, and we can only find a way out. Once we leave Luoyang, we will go straight to the Turks. If we can really get there smoothly, even if the sky and earth are wide, our children can be reborn." "So Gu Xian Ji went to 'Samarkand' to sell jewelry and pay?"
Ukdoha said: "Yes, we both escaped in a hurry, and we didn't bring much money. We were hiding for a month. If we wanted to escape to the Turks, we would need a lot of money along the way. Xian Ji said that 'Samarkand's' is reliable. When I go there to sell jewelry, I will never leak news. Although I was worried, she insisted on going there. I can't stop Xian Ji's temper." Speaking of this, a loving and pity smile appeared on Ukdoha's face, which was set against the remaining tears, which looked particularly strange and desolate. Without waiting for Di Renjie to ask a question, he continued: "That day she came back from 'Samarkand's' and told me that there was hope. As long as the transaction was officially completed at noon the next day, our family of three could escape from the sea of suffering and spread its wings and fly high."
Di Renjie and Mei Yingchun remained silent, and were unwilling to disturb the memories of Ukdoha. Ukdoha stopped and his face turned pale: "At noon that day, I sent her to the entrance of the alley in the street of Samarkand, and were waiting for her there. I saw Datku hurriedly coming out of the inn next to him and walking towards the jewelry store. I had bought jewelry in Samarkand before and gave it to Xianji. I was afraid that he would recognize me, so I quickly went out of the alley. I waited, wait, time passed so slowly. Suddenly, I saw Dat
Ku rushed out of the store like crazy. I knew something was wrong. I was about to go over and see what happened, but I found that there were a few suspicious people on the street in the back door of Samarkand. They all looked grim and acted quickly. I knew they were trained killers at first glance. I didn't dare to go any further, so I had to continue wandering around to inquire about the news. I was still hoping that Xian Ji would suddenly appear in front of me... But in the end, what I waited for was..." Ukdoha held his face with both hands and finally cried bitterly.
After he slowly stopped his sad voice, Di Renjie sighed and said, "It's time to come, so let's be mourning and changing. Ukdoha, I ask you, who do you think the one who killed Gu Xianji?" Ukdoha trembled all over, bit his teeth and thought for a long time before he said, "It must be the killer of the King of Liang, who killed my Xianji!" "Hmm." Di Renjie nodded: "So, who is chasing you in the Turkic 'Baza' today? Could it be the subordinate of King Liang? When did the King of Liang use the killer of the Turkic people?" Ukdoha was stunned and opened his mouth and couldn't speak. Mei Yingchun said coldly: "What? Didn't you also say that those who were Mochu Khan at that time? You have to be careful." Ukdoha's eyes suddenly became erratic, and hesitated for a while but couldn't say a decent word.
Di Renjie winked at Mei Yingchun. The two left Ukdoha and stared there in a daze. They stood up and walked out of the house. The night sky outside the house was clear, the moon was as bright as dust, and the refreshing sweet breath of early spring had already floated faintly in the air. After taking a deep breath of fresh air, Di Renjie smiled at Mei Yingchun and said, "Your Highness, it's really a blessing for you to have such a complex and secret case, so that the clues can be revealed so quickly."
Mei Yingchun quickly bowed and said with a smile: "Master Di, Mei Yingchun begs Master Di to call him under the name of Han, which is more convenient." Di Renjie smiled and shook his head, and patted his arm gently: "Okay, okay, it's better to obey his orders." Mei Yingchun hesitated for a moment and asked: "Master Di, what else did Ukdoha hide? What do you think about Mochu Khan?" Di Renjie pondered: "It's hard to say, there are too few clues at present, so we can't speculate in vain, this will lead to misleading." "Then..."
Di Renjie looked at Mei Yingchun's embarrassed thoughts, and suddenly felt that in his eyes, this tall and powerful Turkic man, who was just a big child, was not much different from the two big children who made him care about him all the time. Besides, wasn't it the two big children who led the Prince Tuqi Shi to him to help him? Thinking of this, Di Renjie felt a sense of closeness in his heart. He smiled kindly and comforted: "Don't worry, there will be a way to make Ukdoha speak."
Mei Yingchun felt the kindness in Di Renjie's tone, and couldn't help but smile sincerely. He said with respect: "Mei Yingchun has long heard that Lord Di is very wise and judges are like a god. When he sees him these days, he is indeed well-known." After thinking about it, Mei Yingchun couldn't help but be curious: "Mr. Di, what is the way you said to make Ukdoha speak? Can you reveal it?" Di Renjie laughed loudly: "You Mei Yingchun, you are very similar to Yuanfang when you ask. It's rare that he saved your life. It seems that you are really destined to be." The two smiled and slowly walked past the shadows under the tree. Di Renjie gathered on a branch, smelled the new buds, and sighed softly: "The four seasons rotate and everything changes. This is the law of nature. Look at the baby in Ukdoha, so young and fragile, it is all the hope for him and Gu Xianji."
Di Renjie raised his head, looked at the night sky with deep eyes, and slowly said, "This pavilion predicts that the biggest breakthrough is still above the headless corpse." "Gu Xianji's headless corpse?" "How can you be sure that it must be Gu Xianji?!" "But... Lord Di! Datku and Ukdoha both confirmed this." Di Renjie shook his head: "None of them saw Gu Xianji being killed with their own eyes. Ukdoha just sent Gu Xianji into the alley where 'Samarkand's' is located. Datku, because he had an appointment with Gu Xianji and made a judgment based on the necklace on the neck of the corpse. But have you ever thought about why the killer cut off his head? Is it to hide the identity of the deceased? Since that's the case, why should he leave a necklace that can be used as a clue? The necklace is on the broken neck, and the killer cannot ignore it when he takes the head away!"
