Chapter 1757 The Secret of the Box
Zhao Zebang looked at the box and was speechless.
Huo Changhe sneered: "Has this king been away from the border for too long? Did you mistakenly think that this king was too lenient to the enemy's spies?"
Zhao Zebang's face changed slightly and his throat rolled.
Huo Changhe waved his hand and said, "I heard that many people are interested in the blood of your Dasang men."
Yinding took over the conversation: "Why not just sell him on the black market? One bowl of blood for one ounce of gold."
Zhao Zebang's expression completely changed. Before Yinding could reach out and drag him, he quickly said, "Your Majesty, please allow me to report."
"Tell me, last chance."
Zhao Zebang made up his mind. It was clear that he had already confessed everything, so it was useless for him to hold on.
"Your Highness, it's not that I don't want to tell you, but because I really don't know what's inside and how to open it."
Huo Changhe raised his eyebrows, and Zhao Zebang quickly said, "It's true. I dare not lie."
"However, the Regent once said that this box is a treasure, given to him by the Saint, and that if he meets a strange person, it will be opened naturally when the opportunity arises."
Huo Changhe asked: "What strange person?"
Zhao Zebang looked embarrassed: "This..."
"I don't know?"
Zhao Zebang quickly shook his head: "No, that's not the case."
The words were really too unbelievable, he himself didn't believe it. If he said it, would Huo Changhe believe it?
Yan Ruyu said: "Just tell the truth."
Zhao Zebang swallowed his saliva: "The Regent said that if he wants to meet someone from another world or..."
When Yan Ruyu heard the word “people from another world”, her heart skipped a beat.
Is she considered a person from another world? In theory, she should be considered a person from another world.
Her body is here, but her soul is not.
"Or what?" she asked.
Zhao Zebang was even more embarrassed when he said the following words: "Or... a person with a human heart and a beast body."
Without waiting for Yan Ruyu and Huo Chang to react, he made up his mind and finished what he said in one breath.
"When the box encounters these two types of people, if they touch the box, the box will change. As for what the change will be, he didn't say, he just said that if I meet them, I will take the people back."
"This matter is of great importance. Even if we have to give up everything else, we must bring the person back."
Huo Changhe asked: "Are you sure it's a beast with a human heart, not a beast with a human face?"
Zhao Zebang smiled bitterly: "To be honest, Your Majesty, I have asked the same question as you. The Regent King is talking about the human heart and the beast body."
Huo Changhe glanced at Yan Ruyu, who seemed to be thinking about something.
She appeared calm and unchanged on the surface, but her heart was actually beating wildly.
She and the abbot should both be considered people from another world, with a human heart in the body of an animal, what is this?
Touch the box, and something will change. What will change?
She recalled that it had bumped into her when she put the things into the space, and it had bumped into her when she took them out.
I didn't see any changes in the box.
Is it because she doesn’t count, or is it because Zhao Zebang is lying?
Judging from Zhao Zebang's expression, he doesn't seem to be lying.
However, it is also possible that the information he received was wrong from the beginning.
Or... after she goes back, she can ask the abbot to try it.
"You are in a group with Ming, Erya and who else?"
When Zhao Zebang heard her mention Erya, he was stunned for a moment, then he understood.
Erya hurriedly found him that time and said that something happened in Lanxing Pavilion. Some unknown people stole things and set a fire.
I felt it was strange at the time, and not long after, a fire also broke out where he lived.
Looking back now, it turns out that the Prince and Princess Zhennan had already set their sights on them at that time.
Zhao Zebang thought about this and accepted his fate.
"There is a third group, but I only know it's a man. I don't know who they are."
"Mingliao and I are not actually the regent's confidants. We are just his spies. Erya is his maid and is even more trusted by him. As for the third group of people, I really don't know."
Yan Ruyu thought of the man she met in Erya’s room before. Could it be that man was the third group?
Erya is the regent's maid, so it seems I have to ask her some questions.
After asking all the questions, Huo Changhe waved his hand and took the man away.
Huo Changhe said: "Yu'er, why do I feel like some of his words sound like nonsense?"
"Your Majesty, you mean..."
Huo Changhe pointed at the box and said, "This is it. What kind of person is this from another world? What kind of person has a human heart and a beast body? The other world is bizarre enough, and what kind of person has a human heart and a beast body? Where in the world can there be such a person?"
Yan Ruyu couldn't figure this out either.
"Your Majesty, what Da Sang did was not simple. Moreover, the way he controlled those women was strange. I always felt that it was somewhat familiar."
Huo Changhe immediately understood: "You mean, Mr. Mo?"
"That's right," Yan Ruyu nodded, "Zhao Zebang said that it was the Saint who gave the box to the Regent King. The Saint had some dealings with Mr. Mo."
"Also..." Yan Ruyu paused.
Mr. Mo was looking for someone with special abilities who could travel through space, and Lou Tingyu almost died in his hands.
According to him, there was also a golden knife, which was also given by the saint.
This box mentioned people from another world, which made it hard for Yan Ruyu to believe that this matter had nothing to do with Mr. Mo.
"What else?" Huo Changhe asked.
"In addition," Yan Ruyu continued, "Mr. Mo has many talented people under his command, and he may be interested in someone from another world."
Huo Changhe nodded: "That makes sense."
"Well, I'll send someone to Dasang to investigate and see if we can find some clues."
Yan Ruyu nodded, and as she was speaking, the silver ingot came quickly.
"My Lord, my Princess, the secret guards outside have sent word that Master Qiu has arrived and is only three miles away from the ruined temple."
"Let him come," Yan Ruyu said, "It's time for this drama to end."
……
There is nothing much to say about the Qiu family, except for the origin of the man who looks quite similar to Qiu Ke Shi.
I originally wanted to try him after returning to the city, but now that Mr. Qiu is here, I will try him all at once.
Huo Changhe went to make some simple arrangements, leaving Yan Ruyu alone in the room.
She walked to the box, slowly stretched out her hand, and lightly pressed it on the box.
He held his breath and stared at the box without blinking.
But the box didn't change.
What about the changes you promised?
Yan Ruyu thought again, what would it be like to have a human heart but a beast body? Could he still be considered a human being?
She was puzzled.
Just as I was thinking about it, the silver ingot arrived.
"Princess, everything is ready. The prince invites you to come over."
Yan Ruyu put away her thoughts and followed him to see Huo Changhe.
Yin Ding asked curiously, "Princess, there is something I don't understand."
"What's the matter?"
"How did you figure out that Ming was among the unconscious women?"
Yan Ruyu smiled lightly: "Her disguise skills are indeed excellent. When the nun was clear before, she was obviously quite old. Both her body shape and figure are very similar."
"After cross-dressing, she looks very young, and even the clothes are very different. This is exactly what gives her confidence and why she dares to take risks."
"But her clothes can change because they are specially made. There is one thing she can't change."
"What is it?"
