Meng Chang gritted his teeth: "Then why did he help Liu Tingyun? If my prediction is correct, it must be his masterpiece that Liu Tingyun finally handed over his son and became your wife."
Liu Yi frowned: "Do we have to tell you about the things between us husband and wife?"
Meng Chang said in a deep voice: "Master Baihu, now it is not just a matter between you two. Whether Liu Tingyun's actions this time were her own or related to Tao Yuanming, I must find out. Before we enter the city in Jianyi
The day before, Liu Muzhi's right-hand assistant suddenly died in the restaurant. The murderer has not been identified yet. And that night, Liu Tingyun, who was planning to blackmail Huan Xuan into taking her out of the city with Huan Xuan's son, met Tao Yuanming.
I suddenly changed my mind and didn’t even want my son, but instead followed you, Mr. Baihu. Do I believe that these things are isolated and have no connection?"
Liu Yi gritted his teeth: "Since you said so, I can only tell you what I know. That day Tao Yuanming told Liu Tingyun that Huan Xuan had abandoned her, and if she returned to Jingzhou, she would give money to those soldiers who died in the battle.
She will not be able to save her life if her family members are angry, and Queen Wang in Jingzhou will definitely try her best to kill her. Only by handing over Huan Sheng can Huan Xuan spare her life, and the only one who can protect her in the future is me.
.Because, as long as she takes advantage of the competition between me and the slave, and helps me deal with the slave, I will save his life."
Meng Chang nodded: "Is that all there is? Didn't the two of them have any other contact afterwards?"
Liu Yi said in a deep voice: "Tao Yuanming has been followed by Huan Xuan, but Ting Yun is..."
At this point, his expression suddenly changed: "Hey, it seems that Tingyun later came to Yuzhang during the Battle of Fankou in Sangluo Prefecture. Could it be..."
Xu Xianzhi said coldly: "Yes, Liu Tingyun came to you personally for this battle, but her real purpose is to take advantage of the chaos of the war to rescue Princess Langya, and then join Sima Dewen's line."
Meng Chang sighed: "In the chaos of the army, how could Liu Tingyun and a few of her men find the lone Princess Langya in Yuzhang City, which was heavily guarded by enemy troops?
How can she do this when there is no one in the Chu army to help her?"
Liu Yi gritted his teeth: "These are just your guesses. After all, Tingyun has been the queen of Chu for many years. Everyone in the Chu army knows that she is Huan Xuan's wife. On weekdays, I'm afraid she has also made friends with many civil and military officials of Huan Chu.
General, at this time, if you use your old connections, it’s not like you won’t have anyone to help you.”
Yu Yue laughed: "Sir Baihu, you are so shrewd and calm in normal times. Why are you so stubborn when it comes to your own woman, even I can see it? Liu Tingyun didn't even abandon her when Huan Xuan
People interceded for her, and finally she was saved by Tao Yuanming, whom she met for the first time. Then when it came to Yuzhang, how could there be any Chu military officials to rescue Princess Langya for her? Even if you take a step back, there is really such a person to help her.
It must be because he saw that the Chu army was about to be defeated and took the opportunity to surrender. Did Liu Tingyun tell the name of the person who helped her? Did she ask for credit for him? "
Liu Yi was silent for a long time, then shook his head: "Indeed not, I didn't think about it carefully at the time. When you mention it like this, it seems that Tao Yuanming was the only one who could help him."
Meng Chang said coldly: "Furthermore, according to my secret investigation, Tao Yuanming did not do nothing when he was under Huan Xuan. Although most of Huan Chu's officials had died in the civil war, Yin Zhongwen survived, and
He told me secretly that Tao Yuanming once reminded Huan Xuan and asked him to pay attention to someone in Jiankang City who was attacking him. As a result, Huan Xuan captured Wang Yuande that night and Xin Huxing and them."
Liu Yi opened his eyes wide: "Isn't it because of my brother Liu Mai's rebellion that Yuan De and Hu Xing died?"
Meng Chang shook his head: "Originally, Yuande and the others' plan was to attack Huanxuan while he was coming out of the ancestral temple. It was because of Tao Yuanming's reminder that Huanxuan added more guards and sent a substitute. However, the assassination failed. Tao Yuanming reminded Huanxuan again,
He was asked to find Liu Mai, who was good at torture. Although all the assassins were dead, he had to make it look like someone was alive and was extracting confessions, so as to deceive those who were in charge into taking action. As a result, Hu Fan took people there
When I was at Liu Mai's house, I happened to encounter Liu Mai throwing money for divination. Liu Mai had something in his mind, so he immediately took the initiative to bring it out, so the uprising in Jiankang failed!"
Liu Yi gritted his teeth: "My eldest brother is so incompetent that I can't hide anything. I should never have done it. I shouldn't have let Zhou Anmu inform him. It not only harmed him, but also harmed many brothers."
.However, Tao Yuanming did not participate in the Jianyi Uprising, how could he know these things?"
Meng Chang sighed: "I vaguely feel that behind Tao Yuanming, there is the shadow of a terrible conspiracy group. Liu Muzhi must have also noticed it. In the past few months, my men have occasionally investigated at the same time as his people.
I got a clue that Tao Yuanming probably also felt that something was not good, so he did not dare to stay in Liu Yu's shogunate anymore, and retreated this time just to protect himself."
Xu Xianzhi said coldly: "I'm afraid you have underestimated Tao Gong's power. This time he is retreating in order to advance. He wants to withdraw from the shogunate to show that he does not support and will not cooperate with the Jiangbei immigration plan.
And then you write an article to exaggerate the suffering during the immigration process to shake the reputation of being a slave. This is not just running away to avoid disaster."
A trace of surprise flashed in Meng Chang's eyes: "Can you still play like this? This guy is really powerful. Did he discuss it with you when he went to Jiangling this time?"
Liu Yi nodded: "Exactly. At that time, I felt strange why he, a man who loves power, would give up the opportunity to be promoted. Now I understand that he may have lied to us all along. What he asked for,
It’s not rich at all.”
Yu Yue said bitterly: "Could it be that this kid wants to make some conspiracy to kill us and Liu Yu, and then take over the power by himself? Does he have this ability?"
Xu Xianzhi said sternly: "Lord Qinglong, never underestimate your opponent. When we could only send slaves to a small officer, who could have imagined that we would be where we are today. And the three of us all started from humble beginnings, but we can't do it now."
Are you manipulating the world here? Perhaps Tao Yuanming, like his accomplices, is hiding in some corner and manipulating the world."
Yu Yue gritted his teeth: "Then I'll find a group of dead soldiers, tie him up, and take him to a place to torture him carefully. I'm not afraid that I won't be able to dig out the person behind him!"
Meng Chang sighed: "Sir Qinglong, if there is someone behind him, you can't tie him up. If there is no one behind him, you can't ask anything if you tie him up. Moreover, he has many ways to protect his own safety. If you don't believe me, you can try it.
