628 Concealed
"Brother, Brother Yaojia, do you think that Old General Xuanyuan is still hiding something from us?"
After leaving the alley where Xuanyuan Liang Courtyard was located and turning back to the main street, making sure that no one was following him, Shen Cha expressed the doubts in his heart.
"I don't know if you feel the same as me. I think he has hidden a lot from us, which is also very important to us." She glanced at Shen Haolin and saw him nodding towards her. Head, "Brother thinks so too?"
"Hey, it seems I'm not overthinking it. Everyone feels the same." Song Yaojia nodded towards the Imperial Guards passing by them, then continued to talk to Shen Haolin and Shen Cha, "I noticed that among us When he mentioned Tantai and Heijia Camp, his expression changed very slightly, as if a certain guess had been confirmed and he was completely relieved."
"I saw it too." Shen Haolin and Shen Cha said in unison. After finishing speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled, "Although he recovered quickly and even coughed a few times to cover up this, but..." Shen Cha shrugged, "It's of no use, but it makes me feel like I'm hiding something."
"From this we can conclude that he lied to us. He didn't know anything about the grievances between the Xuanyuan family and the Tantai family as he said, right?" Song Yaojia touched her chin, " In fact, there is another place where he has revealed his secrets."
"Ancestral Hall." Shen Haolin raised an eyebrow when he saw Song Yaojia, "Most of the main residences and ancestral halls are indeed separated, but Tantai, Xuanyuan, and several residences of noble military generals, these two places are connected. Yes, and the ancestral hall of the Xuanyuan family is in the mansion, not in two different places as we said. Old General Xuanyuan did not deny what we said, he just wanted to push the boat to prove that he knew nothing."
"But he still didn't hide it too well." Shen Cha coughed twice, raised his head and looked at the sky, "I think he had already had doubts in his heart before. After all the things that happened over the years, he had doubts about Tantai. There is a connection between the family and the Black Armor Camp. But he only had suspicions and no evidence to prove this. And what we discovered today confirmed his guess, so he had that kind of relieved reaction."
"That's indeed what happened, but there's one thing I don't quite understand." Song Yaojia wrapped her cloak tightly around her body, "Even if it's just a guess and it hasn't been confirmed, since he knows that Tantai and Heijiaying may be targeting him, well , to be precise, it’s aimed at the Xuanyuan family and makes the Xuanyuan family pay a price or something. Why don’t you think he takes some measures? Is he just letting the other party be so rampant? "
"What measures should be taken? How to take measures?" Shen Cha felt a little cold. Although the charcoal in the hand stove was newly replaced before leaving the palace, it was still not warm. She leaned closer to Shen Haolin and said, "You have to be careful. No matter how strict it is, it's useless. People have already seen our every move clearly in the secret. It's obvious that we can't prevent it from being committed. There's no need at all!"
"All arrangements are seen by the other party, and the other party is making certain arrangements for these." Shen Haolin shrugged, "What's the difference between this and not taking precautions? It's better to remain unchanged in response to changes. "
"It's better to leave it like this. His small courtyard..." Shen Cha chuckled, "It's not easy to break in! But, you think, why is he hiding it from us? What if? Wouldn't it be much better for him to tell us everything he knows, and for everyone to discuss and refer to it together, than for him to rack his brains and deal with it all by himself?"
"You don't know about Old General Xuanyuan. He doesn't like to discuss things with others. Even when he was in court, he didn't like to talk much." Song Yaojia smiled at Shen Haolin and Shen Cha. , "However, I do think that the Xuanyuan family had a hidden secret in the matter of the fifth prince of the Liang Kingdom seizing the heir. It is probably because of this that there are some things that are not easy to tell us."
"What do you mean?" Shen Cha looked at the two people with the same expression, "You...what do you mean? Is there anything you need to hide?"
"Xiaocha, you don't know that, to put it bluntly, no family can really stay out of the matter of seizing the direct descendants. Many families maintain so-called neutrality on the surface, not being on either side, and trying their best to let Everyone can see their own attitudes, but they still have some bias in their hearts, which can be seen from their usual style of doing things."
"The allure of the power of the dragon is extraordinary. Look at our nobles in Xijing, aren't they all like this? Therefore, it is not incomprehensible that the Tantai family has this ambition, not to mention that they were involved in it in the first place. It’s not his family that went in.” Shen Haolin sighed softly, “Not to mention the important ministers and nobles in the capital of Liang Kingdom, the feudal officials also took action after hearing the news. Look at the people who were dealt with after the battle for the inheritance. Minister, you will know. The fifth prince of the Liang Kingdom is not simple, he is a ruthless character!"
"Brother, why did you say this?"
"I know a little bit about this fifth prince. He went from being a prince who was not very popular with Emperor Liang. No, he should be under-appreciated and completely ignored. He went through all the way and killed his highly valued and highly valued princes. A beloved and powerful brother has successfully ascended the throne. This man is no ordinary person. His scheming, government, and patience are all top-notch."
"If you say that, it's true. Not only did he attack those who had been against him, but he also showed no mercy to his own people!" Shen Cha sighed, "Almost all those heroes who supported him all the way to becoming emperor. Didn't you end up well? Those who survived by chance also suffered a lot of damage and have not recovered for many years." She looked at Shen Haolin and then at Song Yaojia, "What special ability does the Xuanyuan family have that allows them to do this safely? How do their officials enjoy the fame? It’s no wonder that the Tantai family and Heijiaying think that the Xuanyuan family has betrayed their friendship. If it were me, I would have to wonder if there is something bad between the Xuanyuan family and the fifth prince. People's deeds and what conditions have been negotiated, the Xuanyuan family relied on this to gain their stability and their prosperity."
"There should be some knowledge here." Song Yaojia nodded, "Since the old general doesn't want to tell us for the time being, let's not ask. When he figures it out or feels that he should tell us, he will naturally tell us. In addition to this, I have another confusion."
"That's our common confusion. His attitude towards Xuanyuan is the same as towards His Highness Prince Ning. Both of them want to kill them. However, the methods are different. He does it openly to the Xuanyuan family and doesn't do anything at all. Covering up is life-threatening. But for His Highness Prince Ning, it feels like cutting his flesh with a blunt knife. They seem to especially enjoy the process of watching His Highness Prince Ning suffer." Shen Cha yawned, "His Highness Prince Ning has no grievances or enmities with them. I don’t know where I offended them and why I was tortured like this.”
"We'll find out when we go back today and ask Uncle Wang." Song Yaojia looked at Shen Haolin and Shen Cha, "You two really don't want to go back with me?"
"It's too late. It won't be good if it disturbs their rest. Anyway, the evidence is there, so I won't run away on my own." Shen Haolin shook his head gently, "Go back and tell them that Cha'er and I will do it tomorrow." After breakfast, we will stop by for a visit."
