Gu Yuan didn't say anything, but patted her head indulgently.
"Do you know what he got from Liu Yang last time?"
"Liu Yang?" Jiang Shanshan recalled the scene of the group of people chasing after him, and thought for a while, "Liu Yang, as the imperial general, naturally has access to matters surrounding the emperor."
As she said that, her eyes lit up, "Could it be that the emperor has some secret?"
Gu Yuan reluctantly picked her up until midnight, when it was time to rest.
Jiang Shanshan hadn't gotten the answer yet. She was not willing to sleep like this. Even though she was carried into the room, she grabbed Gu Yuan's sleeve and refused to let go.
"Don't just tell half of what you're talking about! Make it clear what he's looking for."
Judging from his words, he probably already knew what the Liao people were looking for.
Being so pestered by her, Gu Yuan had no choice but to say: "For the defense plan, there is an official from the Ministry of War who has a good personal relationship with Liu Yang."
He didn't say much else because some officials were involved and he couldn't tell clearly for a while.
Jiang Shanshan's eyes widened.
Defense map?
Something flashed through her mind, and she was momentarily confused.
No wonder.
No wonder the Liao Kingdom in the dream was able to break through Yanmen Pass and capture several cities.
It turns out that the defense plan was leaked, which is correct. If Liu Yang had not died, they would not have known that the defense plan had been leaked.
If the Liao Kingdom suddenly launches another attack, it will not be like what she dreamed about.
The city gate that was guarded by General Daxing and filled with the blood of countless people turned out to be destroyed by his own people.
In this way, her brother Jiang Mingxuan later went crazy and killed so many officials, not just to avenge himself.
Maybe it should have been killed?
Seeing that she was stunned, Gu Yuan comforted her with a few words, which brought her back to her senses.
Jiang Shanshan bit his lip, "Do you want to rest at home tonight? It's hard to go back so late."
There were some things she wanted to understand before she could talk to him in detail.
Upon receiving the invitation, Gu Yuan's heart beat faster and he coughed lightly.
Mom happened to raise her head and said: "Then slave girl, go and clean up the house for the young master, and prepare water for washing."
After Gu Yuan nodded in agreement, his mother disappeared again.
Jiang Shanshan was pretending that something was wrong, but he didn't pay much attention. He just asked some more about the defense plan.
Unfortunately, Gu Yuan actually didn't know much. He only knew that there was no news about the defense plan hidden by Liu Yang.
He only found out about this matter after the Liao people came here and were secretly looking for something.
Therefore, he successfully prevented the emperor from considering choosing a princess to marry.
Thinking of this, Gu Yuan's eyes fell on the people around him, and he remembered what Yelver was going to say at the palace banquet that day.
Even though he knew that the other party did it deliberately, he still couldn't control the murderous intention in his heart.
Jiang Shanshan only felt that Gu Yuan's body suddenly tensed up for a moment. When she looked around, the person under the candlelight was still an aristocratic young man like a jade tree.
She curled her lips, Gu Yuan is so powerful, he can fight at the age of fifteen or sixteen, and the Liao Kingdom has not dared to show his face for several years. He must be able to save the future decline, right?
I only regretted that the dream could not give her more hints, and only a few words guided her through the Duke of Jingguo's mansion.
However, since both Gu Yuan and the Gu family are so powerful, there must be no problem!
After his mother came over to report that everything was ready, Gu Yuan stopped staying any longer, told her to rest early, and left.
Jiang Shanshan nodded in agreement, but turned around and asked her mother to take her to find Jiang Mingxuan.
"It's so late, I'm afraid the young master has rested. Why don't we call him over tomorrow to talk?" Mom suggested.
How could Jiang Shanshan wait so long, "Didn't he say he had a heatstroke a few days ago? I have to go and see if he's okay."
Mom: "..." Why didn't you ask when you heard it a few days ago?
Not only did he not ask, he also said that it was just the heat and that it would just go away.
Of course Jiang Shanshan didn't remember what he said. Besides, it was just heatstroke. Who hasn't had it?
Her mother couldn't resist her, so she had to let her sit still while she went to invite Jiang Mingxuan.
It was so late, and of course she couldn't be allowed to walk around with her legs and feet.
Therefore, when Jiang Mingxuan had finished reading and had washed up and was about to rest, he heard that his sister was looking for him, so he put on his clothes and went over without thinking.
My mother shook her head when she saw it.
These two siblings are really a pair of virtuous people.
"Sister, what's wrong? I feel uncomfortable somewhere." Jiang Mingxuan asked after entering the room.
Jiang Shanshan was sitting at the table, writing and drawing something.
Seeing her brother coming over, she raised her chin and motioned for him to sit down.
"My injury is fine, I just want to ask you something."
Hearing what she said, Jiang Mingxuan breathed a sigh of relief and twisted his still wet hair.
His mother also gave him a handkerchief with keen eyes, while she retreated outside to wait.
"Mingxuan, what do you think we should do if someone leaks state secrets?"
Jiang Mingxuan looked at her and was speechless for a moment.
He is only fifteen years old, what does family and country affairs have to do with him?
He didn't even pass the imperial examination!
Could it be that Sister A wants to test herself?
He thought seriously about revealing the secret, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and he said after careful consideration: "Of course we cannot keep such a person, the sooner we get rid of him, the better."
"What else?" Jiang Shanshan raised his eyes, "If you find that more than one person is involved, even if one person may be innocent."
Jiang Mingxuan looked at his sister and answered more carefully.
"Innocent people must of course be investigated. Although we can't let the traitor go, we can't unjustly accuse a good person."
After he finished speaking, he straightened his chest, thinking that his answer was correct.
Jiang Shanshan was silent.
Sure enough, at this time, the younger brother had not experienced the severe beating of fate, and he could not be like the one his relatives would not recognize him in the future.
Thinking of this, she sighed.
"Then tell me, what would you do if the imperial general obtained the border defense map, and this defense map was leaked from the Ministry of War?"
"How could a secret such as a defense plan be leaked so easily?" Although Jiang Mingxuan has not participated in politics and is young, he is not stupid.
Jiang Shanshan could only say: "That Liu Yang secretly kept the defense plan in his hand, but the man is dead and the things are missing. The Liao people are still looking for it secretly."
As soon as she said it, Jiang Mingxuan understood.
"I see, then the person who leaked the secret deserves death. It would be clean to let him die so early."
If it were him...
"The whereabouts of this defense map are unknown, so where do you think he is hiding?"
When Jiang Mingxuan heard this, he finally couldn't control his expression.
He was troubled, "Sister, I'm only fifteen years old, I've never seen Liu Yang, I don't recognize him..."
In short, how could he know?
It's better to ask Gu Yuan than to ask him, right?
He sighed, feeling that his sister's trust in him was both a sweet and painful burden.
Jiang Shanshan naturally didn't know that he was thinking so much, but he just felt that since his brother could kill so many people in the dream, especially since the Ministry of War was bloodbathed, he must have found out the news.
She wanted to know what her brother would think of if he knew about the existence of the defense map.
