When they returned to the Regent's Mansion, Luo Jinyan and Gu Jue were already waiting for them in the mansion.
Along with the two of them was Khenpo La, who had a gloomy face. Khenpo La's already gloomy face became even gloomier after seeing Luo Junyao.
Luo Junyao disliked Khenbura very much and had no interest in hearing what they said, so she turned around and left to play with Xie Cheng and a few other children. Anyway, whatever she wanted to know, Ayan would tell her later.
Seeing Luo Junyao's back disappear outside the door, Xie Yan just looked at the three people in the hall and asked: "How?"
Gu Jue smiled and said: "Please don't worry, Your Majesty, it has been solved."
"Oh? So easy?" Xie Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, obviously feeling a little surprised.
Gu Jue ordered outside, and a moment later someone dragged two people in.
Luo Jinyan said: "It's not completely resolved. The two people who came to Shangyong this time are the youngest legitimate son and the eldest grandson of the leader of the Hongshan tribe." As he spoke, the two people had been dragged in by the guards and thrown to the ground.
Compared with Khenbura, the appearance of these two people is very similar to that of the people from the Central Plains area, but they are much more muscular and darker than the people from the Jiangnan area. But if you only look at their outlines, they are not very different from the people from the Dasheng south.
Their hands and feet were not tied, nor were their acupoints tapped, but they still looked very weak, and they were obviously poisoned.
After being thrown to the ground, he struggled for a while before he managed to sit up. One of them glared at Khenbu Ladu: "Khenbu Ladu, you traitor! You actually helped the Central Plains people deal with us!"
Khenpo La's face was gloomy, and he stared coldly at the two young men on the ground and said, "You are very good at using people. Let me act as a shield for you from the front, but you are taking advantage from behind."
The young man sneered and said: "What use? Do you think you are some kind of chosen person? No one has found the things that have been placed in the Hongshan Department for nearly a hundred years, but you have found them?"
Khenpo stared at the young man intently, his pupils narrowed, "Did you do this on purpose?"
The young man snorted and said: "Don't be so innocent as you said. Hongshan Department has not had a woman qualified to become a saint for so many years. Doesn't it have anything to do with you?"
Khenpo La was silent, but Gu Jue became a little curious and looked at the young man with interest, waiting for him to continue to say something.
The Hongshan tribe did do many bad things to the Xiao family and angered Xiao Xueyang, but that was also for a reason. If you could choose, a woman who was born and raised in her own tribe would not be more trustworthy than one who grew up outside.
?But in recent years, the direct daughters of the Hongshan tribe’s lineage simply cannot survive.
Either they died in infancy, or they had accidents when they grew up a little. Even if there are occasionally a few who are close to the age of thirteen, they usually have various accidents before their birthdays.
Khenbura's mother is also a girl from the Hongshan tribe, but she agreed to the marriage proposal of the future leader of the Furukawa tribe just after she turned thirteen. By the time the clan leader found out, both of them were already married. Originally, the Hongshan tribe planned to come again
Zhongyuan's idea of trading with the Xiao family to retrieve the jade pendant naturally went bankrupt.
The people of the Hongshan Department knew that after all, the last Saint came from the Hongshan Department. Everyone suspected that the Hongshan Department deliberately hid the token representing the Saint, in order to prevent them from accidentally pushing their own girl to the Saint again.
As for the position of a daughter, those people simply stopped allowing the Hongshan tribe to have a legitimate daughter who was qualified to become a saint.
These are all internal matters in Southern Xinjiang. Neither Khenpo La nor that young man obviously meant to let outsiders see their own jokes, and they did not satisfy Gu Jue's curiosity.
Luo Jinyan said calmly: "So, the Hongshan Department's original plan was to push Khenbu La to the stage to attract attention, and then take the token back secretly? Ah, no... You hope to use Khenbu La and Xiao Hong's hands to bring the token back to the public?
The Xiao family was wiped out, and only the legitimate daughter of the Xiao family was brought back. I remember that the youngest legitimate daughter of the head of the Xiao family is already married, and there are still two young concubines. However, Southern Xinjiang is thousands of miles away, and the legitimate daughter is
It doesn’t really matter if she’s a daughter or a concubine, right? Xiao Chan seems to have a daughter, but she’s too young, only four or five years old.”
In fact, Luo Jinyan feels that these people from southern Xinjiang are too serious. Since they are looking for someone in the Central Plains, even if they take a random woman back, can they still tell whether she is of the blood of a saint?
Unless... the people of Southern Xinjiang have a unique way of testing bloodline.
Gu Jue smiled and said: "It's a pity, it seems that the success has failed."
The young man's face was very ugly. They originally thought that Xiao Xueyang would pass the precious token to his son. However, they did not expect that as early as when Mrs. Xiao married into the Xiao family, the token was mixed in a pile of things by Mrs. Xiao Xueyang and regarded as Xiao Xueyang's.
It is only said in the family that the eldest daughter-in-law's token was given to Mrs. Xiao.
It's even possible that Xiao Xueyang's wife herself didn't know what it was. The token was passed directly to her daughter-in-law through the hands of the Holy Maiden of Southern Xinjiang. Therefore, even in the Xiao family, whether it is Mr. Xiao, Mrs. Xiao and Xiao
Hong, I really thought it was an ordinary heirloom jade pendant of the Xiao family.
Perhaps the only one who really knows the inside story is Xiao Chen.
They once thought that the jade pendant might have been passed on to Xiao Chen, the eldest son of the Xiao family, but after probing around Xiao Chen for a long time, there was no news. They had to change the target again, hoping to push Xiao Hong to the top and then search slowly. Compared with the shrewd Xiao Xiao
Well, Xiao Hong is obviously a very easy person to control. As long as Xiao Hong becomes the head of the Xiao family, he can always dig things out.
Not wanting Khenpo La to be one step ahead of them, they got the information from somewhere and immediately locked onto the trace of the token. It just so happened that Xiao Hong ran away from home again. The Hongshan tribe had suffered too many losses in Yangxin, and they would not do it unless they had to.
They don't want to have a head-on confrontation with the Xiao family in Yangxin. Therefore, Xiao Hong's running away from home is an excellent opportunity for them.
Xiao Hong was indeed as they imagined, with utter hatred and murderous intent towards the Xiao family and Xiao Chen.
Unfortunately……
For some reason, Xiao Hong attracted the attention of the Luo family and the Regent's Palace. Before they were even ready, Xiao Hong was captured by Luo Jinyan.
They learned from the informants lurking around Khenbura that the token had fallen into the hands of Luo Jinyan, and that Luo Jinyan had agreed to make a deal with Khenbura. They had no choice but to attack Luo Jinyan first, which led to the current situation.
Xie Yan said calmly: "I have no control over the internal affairs of Southern Xinjiang. However, as I instigated Xiao Hong to murder the imperial officials with the intention of destroying the entire Xiao family, I have no choice but to ignore this matter."
The young man said: "What do you want?"
Xie Yan turned his head to look at Khenbu La. Khenbu La was a little angry and said, "What do you think you are doing, Your Majesty?"
Xie Yan said: "Excuse me, please go back and tell the chief of the Hongshan tribe that these two people committed illegal acts in Shangyong. I will kill them on the spot. If the Hongshan tribe has any objections, they can come to Shangyong in person and I will give them an explanation."
.”
Khenpo La almost cursed on the spot. The current leader of the Hongshan tribe was his grandfather. The two people in front of him were his uncle and his cousin. He went back to his grandfather without incident and told his uncle that his uncle and cousin had committed crimes in the Central Plains.
Was he beheaded by the regent?
But Khenbura soon endured it. No matter how these two people died in the Central Plains, the relationship between the Hongshan tribe and the Guhe tribe was destined to break down after he returned.
Khenpo La thought for a while and said: "Why is this so? Your Majesty probably doesn't want the various ministries in southern Xinjiang to have too many opinions on the imperial court. What's more... Your Majesty probably doesn't want the affairs of the Xiao family to be leaked, right?"
Xie Yan raised his eyebrows and said, "What do you think?"
Khenpo La sneered, and suddenly raised his hand and threw two scorpions on the necks of the two people on the ground. But for a moment, the two people struggled on the ground without making any sound.
Xie Yan looked calm and watched this scene motionless.
If he wanted to take action, no matter how fast Khenpo moved, the two scorpions would not be able to hurt those two people. However, Xie Yan did not make any move, not even the slightest sign of surprise.
Khenbura stood up and said: "I have solved these two people for the prince. I hope that the prince can keep his word."
Xie Yan chuckled slowly and said, "This is natural."
He tilted his head and nodded to Luo Jinyan. Luo Jinyan took out the jade pendant and threw it towards Khenpo La. The jade pendant was actually of no use to them, so they just gave it to them.
Khenpo La took the jade pendant in his hand and looked at it carefully. The look on his face became obviously much more relaxed.
The Guhe tribe is different from the Hongshan tribe. They have no shortage of girls and are not interested in the Xiao family. Therefore, Khenbura only wants the ability to enter and leave the holy land and a token representing the identity of the saint.
"Thank you, farewell." Khenpo La did not stay for a long time, holding the jade pendant in his hand and walked out.
He had only taken two steps when he suddenly felt a strong gust of wind coming from behind him like an overwhelming force.
Khenpo La immediately rushed out of the door with all his strength, but was still hit hard by the force, and he flew out directly.
As soon as he landed in the courtyard outside the door, he fell to his knees and sprinkled a mouthful of blood on the ground in the courtyard.
Khenpo La's attendants hurriedly stepped forward to support him, only to see that their master's face was ashen, and blood flowed from his lips, obviously he was seriously injured.
"Prince Regent, you Central Plains people..." Khenpo La was supported by his attendants and barely managed to keep from falling down. He looked at Xie Yan who was still sitting on the main seat in the hall and said angrily.
Xie Yan said calmly: "I want to teach the future leader of the Furukawa clan that it is better to behave properly in other people's territory."
Khenpo La wanted to say something, but when he met Xie Yan's abyss-like eyes, he swallowed the words he spoke hard.
"Thank you, Prince Regent, for your advice. I'll take my leave."
Seeing Khenpo La being supported by his attendants and leaving in embarrassment, Luo Jinyan frowned slightly and said, "This Khenpo La is not as simple as he looks."
Xie Yan said calmly: "A simple-minded person cannot be the heir to the Furukawa tribe, let alone...he seems to be in a difficult situation this time, but don't forget, all his goals have been achieved."
Luo Jinyan said with a smile: "Isn't it the prince himself who fulfilled his wish?" If Xie Yan refused to fulfill his wish, it would be a question of whether Khenpo La could walk out alive, so how could he achieve his goal?
Xie Yan nodded and said: "He is indeed the person most likely to delay the situation in southern Xinjiang."
"Aren't you afraid that he will really integrate southern Xinjiang?" Luo Jinyan said: "By then, he will be a powerful enemy of Dasheng."
Xie Yan shook his head and said, "Think about it carefully."
Luo Jinyan lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "The prince is right. Southern Xinjiang has rarely been able to come together in one place for thousands of years. If he can really integrate Southern Xinjiang, it may not be a bad thing for us."
Although it is unlikely that too fierce a war will occur if tribe after tribe is cleared away, the time-consuming and labor-intensive Da Sheng may fall into the quagmire of southern Xinjiang for a long time. The terrain and personnel in southern Xinjiang are complicated, and it may not be a good strategy to defeat them one by one.
If the Furukawa tribe is allowed to integrate or eliminate the combat power of various tribes in Southern Xinjiang, it will naturally be much more convenient for Dasheng to take action against Southern Xinjiang, and the subsequent troubles will be much less.
The most important thing is to give Da Sheng time to rest and recuperate.
Regardless, since they can't take action against Southern Xinjiang now, it's really not a bad thing to let Southern Xinjiang internally collide with each other first.
Gu Jue held up his chin and said, "I feel a little sorry for Marquis Lingchuan, Your Majesty...you have no grudge against Marquis Lingchuan's mansion, right?" Even if Wei Changting offends you, you can't blame Marquis Lingchuan.
Xie Yan glanced at him lightly and said, "You know too little about Marquis Lingchuan. In southern Xinjiang, he is more useful than you, and even you, Wei Changting, are more useful."
Gu Jue raised his eyebrows. In his impression, Marquis Lingchuan seemed to be an ordinary Yongxun noble. He might be a little more capable than other nobles, but he wouldn't be used by the prince to belittle him and Wei Changting, right?
Luo Jinyan smiled and said: "I heard that the Marquis of Lingchuan also traveled to Southern Xinjiang in his early years. After the founding of the People's Republic of China by Emperor Gaozu, he was the one who submitted the list of submissions from all the tribes in Southern Xinjiang. You will be the Marquis of Lingchuan's Mansion.
Is the title free of charge?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Gu Jue was a little surprised, "Is there such a thing?" Wei Changting never told him this.
Xie Yan said lightly: "Wei Changting may not know this. He has been following Lingchuan Marquis these days." Although Wei Shizi is known as a wise general, he is still too young. He thinks that he is worried about his father's safety.
Feeling guilty, little did he know that he was being laughed at by his own father.
Luo Jinyan stood up and said, "Let's forget about this matter. I'll worry about the rest of the Xiao family, Prince. I'll take my leave first."
Xie Yan nodded slightly and said, "I have worked hard and be careful during this period."
In the final analysis, there are still not enough people available. Whether it is Luo Jinyan, Wei Changting, Gu Jue or even Yu Mingqiu who just came back, they have endured too many things that are not within the scope of their responsibilities during this period.
Not to mention Xie Yan himself, he wished he could split it into three for use.
It should be able to calm down for a while now. After the spring of next year, there will be a large number of fresh blood in the DPRK and China, and the assessment of the existing officials in the DPRK and China should also be released.
By then there will be more people able to do things, so it should be easier.
Luo Jinyan waved his hand, turned around and walked out.
Of course he also knew Xie Yan's difficulties. Although it seemed to them that it was a bit hard, outsiders would probably be envious of him.
Gu Jue also stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I'm going to see Cui Ziying."
Xie Yan nodded and told him to help himself, and he got up and walked to the backyard.
Because there are a few more children, the palace seems much more lively than before. From a distance, I can see Luo Junyao taking a few children to practice martial arts in the garden. The older ones such as Jiang Che and Su Xun are practicing well.
, the younger ones just made random gestures with their wooden swords, and the little fat man almost tripped himself.
But there were cheerful smiles on the faces of several children. Xie Yan looked at the smile on Xie Cheng's face, and then his eyes fell on Luo Junyao, who was holding Su Xun's wrist and teaching him how to dance the sword, and his lips gradually overflowed.
