What Yun Ji heard back made Qing feel particularly embarrassed.
All her mother saw was the one-third of an acre of land in front of her. She knew how to plot against Bagan and plot against Almu. She knew that if these two fell, as long as her father died, she would be the one to succeed.
But she doesn't have Changning's vision and structure.
Changning expected that the noble tribes of Beikang would be dissatisfied if he came to power. Once Beikang was in chaos, it would be beneficial to Nanjing.
For her, Jingguo's interests are fundamental, and those personal grudges are not in her eyes at all.
He admired such a woman, but how could he feel comfortable in his heart?
Changning's choice was based on his determination that it was impossible to stabilize the situation in Beikang.
How can you not be ashamed and annoyed when you are looked down upon by a woman?
I haven't thought about it. She can make all kinds of sacrifices for her Nanjing as a woman, but can't she as a man? If I don't compete for such a position, Beikang will naturally be stable. Even when the position changes.
, if there is a little turmoil, for a country, it is only a minor problem.
But, are you willing?
When Father Khan is in power, he can be better off. Once Father Khan is no longer in power, both Bagan and Almu will treat him like a lowly slave. Even now, they don't bother to hide this attitude.
When that time comes, what should I do?
What should a man be afraid of when he dies?
But why should my wife and children deserve it?
Therefore, he has to take this position. Not only does he want it, but he must also be able to stabilize the situation.
But before that, he called Mrs. Qi over: "...Last time, didn't you say that your mother's illness was a little bad? I see that you have been distracted recently. If you are really worried, go to Liangzhou and have a look..."
Qi's eyes lit up: "Can you really go?"
Qingge nodded: "Muren is getting older too. Ask him to take someone to escort you and Baoyin. Go pack your things..."
Mrs. Qi was happy and took Qingge's hand: "Aren't you coming with us?"
"When the Nanjing delegation leaves, I will go to Liangzhou to pick you up in the name of seeing them off." Qingge said, then sighed, "Didn't you talk about your nephew's marriage to Baoyin last time...
I think it will work. If you go and take a closer look at the child's character this time, if you don't examine the big problem, he will be a good match..."
"Your Majesty." Mrs. Qi frowned, "Didn't you disagree before? Why did you change your mind? You couldn't be... you were hiding something from me."
"It's nothing." Qingge lowered his head and took her hand and rubbed it carefully, "I don't even think about it. If something really happens, how could I only arrange for you and not mother."
This is true!
"I am overthinking it." Mrs. Qi put a smile on her face again, "Then...I will pack my things right now..."
Qingge nodded, and when others walked out of the tent, he sighed deeply.
After a short while, Muren opened the curtain and came in, "Abba..."
Qingge raised his hand to stop him: "Except for the commonly used things, don't bring anything else." He took out a wooden sign, "Do you know that businessman Shi Wandou? He should be in Liangzhou.
It is famous. If there is an accident, use this brand to pick it up... I have a box of gold stored there... enough for the three of you ladies to live a rich life anywhere. Your appearance is similar to that of the Central Plains
There is not much difference between people, and they can speak the Central Plains dialect very well. If you change your clothes and blend in with the crowd, no one will notice. But remember, you will never go back to Beikang again in your lifetime. As for the Qi family, don’t rely too much on it.
.Your grandfather can barely rely on you for a day. But when he gets old, he can no longer handle things. Your uncles must think more about their children and grandchildren."
"Abba!" Muren frowned: "If we leave, others will think too much."
Qingge laughed: "What I want is for others to think more..."
Muren raised his eyebrows and looked at his father in confusion, "What do you think..."
Qingge waved his hand to stop Muren from continuing, "Go ahead! Be obedient."
Muren took the sign: "Is that Shi Wandou trustworthy?"
Qingge nodded at Muren: "Are you trying to say that Shi Wandou is very close to Chang Ning and you are afraid that he will change his mind? First, he is a businessman, an ambitious businessman. Businessmen value profits and trust. Besides, that
He wouldn't take it to heart if he wanted to ask for something. Secondly, even if he is from Changning, it doesn't matter. That woman is not that stingy... Besides, this time she may not be able to..." After saying that, he paused.
After a while, "Take your guards and leave. If you really don't trust Shi Wandou, it doesn't matter. This time I go to Liangzhou and directly send someone you trust to take it out with the certificate, and then find a safe place to put it, or simply
Change it into a banknote and take it with you... Don't ask any more questions. When the matter is settled... If everything goes well, I will pick you up personally. If I don't go, no matter who it is, don't follow."
My father has made up his mind and cannot change it. Muren nodded: "After I send my mother and sister away, I will come back to help you..."
"Without you, they have nothing to rely on. If something unexpected happens, they will have to be slaughtered by others." Qingge slowly closed his eyes, "Either they will be treated as objects and given as rewards...or..."
"Stop talking." Muren took a deep breath. This kind of situation makes people feel horrified just thinking about it. "Abba... Actually, the Nanjing people live... like human beings."
"So, in order for my subjects to no longer be treated like livestock, Abba will give it a try." Muren smiled, "Not only for you, but also for the many people who are driven away like cattle and sheep."
While the father and son were talking, the bodyguards of King Khan came over and conveyed a message: the second prince Qingge would receive the envoy from Nanjing on his behalf.
When the convoy arrived near the royal city, the outpost came to report, and the second prince followed the Khan's order and waited ten miles outside the royal city.
Yin Chengzhi asked Shangguan Chun, who was following the carriage on horseback: "The second prince also received the envoy last time?"
Shangguan Chun shook his head: "This is the third prince Almu. This man is arrogant and vulgar. He is not as humble and polite as the second prince."
When Yin Chengzhi becomes thoughtful, he becomes thoughtful.
When they saw the second prince, Nanjing's envoys couldn't help but praise the second prince's demeanor. One of them came from afar, and the other welcomed him warmly. Everything went smoothly. The only puzzling thing was that he mentioned
When it came time to meet the King of Khan first, the other party declined. He only said that he had come from afar and wanted to rest first. As for meeting the King of Khan, he always avoided it. He did not even give an approximate time for the summons.
After the others left, they also moved into the camp prepared for them.
The people who left the mission looked at each other in confusion.
Yin Chengzhi ordered Shangguan Chun, Wenbo and Chai Tong to go to the royal court together. Even if they could not meet the King of Khan, there should be procedures and their etiquette should be fulfilled. In addition, they had to get the permission of the King of Khan before they could pay their respects.
Princess Changning and grandson.
When he left the camp, Beikang's guards did not stop him, but when he arrived at the king's tent, he was stopped.
Bilan Khan said: I have received my message and asked him to rest first and wait for the summons.
He also said: He has approved the meeting with Princess Changning.
But when the group of people handed over the news to visit Chang Ning, Chang Ning refused to meet. Even when Lin Houzhi sent the message, he only stood far away and asked Beikang's guards to pass the message back and forth.
A message was sent saying: If you have anything to do, you can discuss it with your grandson.
"What does this mean?" Shangguan Chun frowned.
Yin Chengzhi said in a low voice: "Shut up. I'm afraid we are unlucky and something big is going to happen when we catch up with Beikang."
Princess Changning is obviously avoiding suspicion again.
Shangguan Chun narrowed his eyes and said nothing. But when he returned to the camp, he suggested, "Xiaoguan thinks that we should send people to inquire about the news from various sources to confirm whether our trip can be completed. If not, I will suggest that we should do it as soon as possible."
It’s better to go back to the DPRK. Don’t involve us in other people’s internal fights.”
This is quite true.
Yin Chengzhi asked: "Do you want to invite the grandson to come over and ask?"
Shangguan Chun shook his head: "I'm afraid that the secrets Taisun knows are very limited. Prime Minister Zuo of Beikang... This person likes yellow and white things. I think I can give it a try."
It means bribing the ministers of Beikang to obtain information.
This is also a channel for asking each other for information.
Yin Chengzhi frowned and was about to speak when he saw Meng Fang coming over in a hurry.
"What's the matter?" Shangguan Chun asked with a frown.
Meng Fang glanced at him and said nothing. When he looked at Yin Chengzhi, he said: "The entourage in front of Taisun came just now and asked the official to pass a message, 'rest in the camp and don't act rashly'."
Shangguan Chun's brows could turn into knots: "What does this mean?"
what do you mean?
Chai Tong said: "Sir Shangguan, what the grandson says is what it means. As for what it means, it is not for the ministers to speculate."
Shangguan Chun had long been disdainful and ignored by Yin Chengzhi, which made him a little restless. He came with a mission, but now he is trapped here, in front of everyone's eyes, what can he do? Nothing.
He couldn't do it. Others could do it. But Chai Tong, with his status, looked strange in front of him. He was angry at that time: "I dare not question His Highness Taisun's words. But it is the duty of a minister to share your worries with you."
Now we are all blind. If there is any danger or if there is any need for our help, we are at a loss. Besides, His Highness Taisun is young and needs the help of stable ministers..."
Meng Fang recalled what the attendant, Lin Liang or something, said: "...His Royal Highness Taisun feels that he is very close to Mr. Yin..."
He always felt that there was something hidden in his words, as if he was hinting at something.
After all, this is a camp that the Beikang people have set up a long time ago. From the guards, to the servants who serve tea and water, to the little slave girls who are selected to heat the beds, I am afraid that they are not innocent. Since we are avoiding contact,
The words probably won't be very clear.
Thinking like this, he said this: "...I don't know if there is something fishy about this..."
Chai Tong clapped his hands: "Young master Yin is still young, and he is busy and playful. When you arrive in a foreign country, you can't help but go out for a walk. This is inevitable... When you go out, you may meet someone by chance.
..." Then he sighed again and again, "Before, I was still thinking that His Highness showed extraordinary concern for Mr. Yin... I was still puzzled... I didn't expect that in this matter... His Highness had already
This has paved the way for what is happening now..."
Yin Chengzhi: "..." You really think too much.
The 'great grandson' hinted that his son could go out to convey information, but he was just lustful.
There was something in my heart that I didn't care about, but I couldn't say anything to refute it at the moment.
Shangguan Chun said angrily: "Then let's ask the brothers from the Yin family to come over."
If there is any news, I will find out when I get back.
Not far from the camp with the two guards, Fourth Master came across the young man who had been following Tongtong before and was later sent to report to Princess Changning. He was walking in front and would wait in place every few steps.
Then look back and make sure the people behind you are following you before continuing forward.
Just following along, we soon arrived at a very lively market.
People were dragging cattle and sheep to trade, and people were carrying sheepskins and wolf skins waiting for trade. There were people and livestock everywhere crowding around.
There were various tents scattered around. The fourth master looked at them and walked towards the tent that looked particularly luxurious.
The guard whispered: "Master, that person is over there..."
Lin Liang headed towards a dilapidated tent on the opposite side.
Fourth Master chuckled: "Let's go! That's right."
Such a dazzling tent was set up in the livestock market? Who dares to approach it easily?
The people who come here to trade are usually commoners and untouchables from Beikang. They wish they could hide away from here. No one dares to approach, no one dares to break in, and all nobles and people with status will not come in.
Sure enough, it's a good place to meet.
He didn't know how she sneaked in, but someone like him who had just arrived in a foreign country would not arouse suspicion if he went to the wrong place.
There was no one guarding the tent, but no one came close within ten meters.
Fourth Master opened the curtain and went in. What was in front of him was a wooden screen. When he walked around the screen, he saw Lin Yutong sitting inside.
It's not easy to meet, but we held hands and looked at each other, and then there was a smile in our eyes.
There was no time to talk about anything else, so I could only explain their respective situations in as simple words as possible.
Lin Yutong frowned: "...Something happened..." Bilan Khan's injury was not what her aunt had expected, and many plans had to be advanced. She briefly told the Fourth Master about the situation in Beikang, and the Fourth Master
Then he understood, "You choose the second prince Qingge..." Then he shook his head again: "Qingge inherits the throne, Beikang will inevitably have the situation you expected. But... your plan puts you in the
In their internal fighting, gains and risks are equal. In fact, it does not need to be like this at all. Whether Qingge inherits the throne is a matter for the future... Now, as long as the water in this pond is disturbed, it will be a fish.
"Whether the tortoise ate or the tortoise ate the turtle, what does it have to do with us?"
This is true!
An idea flashed in Lin Yutong's mind, and he whispered to Fourth Master in a low voice for half an hour.
Only then did Fourth Master smile and give a positive comment: "Excellent!"
No one knew what the two of them were mumbling in the tent, and even the guards who followed the fourth master, who were top experts, did not hear a single word.
Yin Chengzhi could only wait for his son to come out after washing and tell him about the situation.
The other envoys were already waiting.
None of them were inside the tent, but in the open space in the middle of the tent, sitting on their knees with a felt blanket.
Then the fourth master came over and stated two things very calmly: First, after Bilan Khan was assassinated, someone hid dirt on the gauze dressing the wound, which aggravated the injury. Now the wound is severely rotten and the fever is high.
retreat, the situation is not very optimistic. In addition, it is also emphasized that when Qiu Lie Khan was assassinated last year, the Jingguo mission did not leave, but was not far from the paddock.
These two seemingly unrelated issues shocked everyone. They all turned to look at Shangguan Chun. They all understood what Taisun meant.
Taisun wanted to say, don't act rashly and don't let others blame the assassination of the Khan on Jingguo. Otherwise, no one in this mission will be able to return alive.
Shangguan Chun was sweating on his head. Chai Tong was even more angry, because no one knew where Shangguan Chun encountered a situation on his way back to the court that delayed his trip. He only said that he was ill and had to stop.
He rested for a while. No one took this matter to heart. He didn't explain it in detail, so no one asked him in detail. But now that he said it, it reminded people of the night when they first met the grandson, and what the grandson said,
The assassination in the paddock, and his attitude towards Shangguan Chun.
Obviously, there is something fishy here.
It was so unfathomable that the Khan of Beikang was assassinated on the same day, which can easily be associated with Jingguo.
It’s true that there is more than enough success and more than failure!
"Shuzi!" Wenbo stood up, pointed at Shangguan Chun and cursed.
Yin Chengzhi took a deep look at his son, and then said: "Everyone, please be patient. The matter has already happened, and it will be after returning to the court to investigate. What we have to do now is how to get rid of this situation.
He escaped smoothly from the incident.”
"Not bad, not bad!" The experience officer of Zong Ren Mansion said hurriedly: "Master Yin, does your Highness have anything else to say?"
The fourth master lowered his eyelids: "...This is the second thing. His Highness said that this matter is more complicated than imagined. Bilan Khan handed the matter over to Princess Changning for investigation..."
"Why did the princess take on such a hot potato?" Shangguan Chun asked hurriedly.
Yin Chengzhi snorted softly: "Don't accept it? Are you going to hand this knife that can kill us into other people's hands? If that's the case, if someone else tries to check it, we people will probably lose our heads if we still do it.
Those are stupid people."
That’s right! That’s right!
If the murder of Bilan Khan was not an enemy or an enemy, it must have something to do with a few princes. No one would dare to seduce them if it was handed over to them. And Nanjing’s envoy was sent to his door.
The scapegoat can just be dragged over to take the blame, so why not do it.
In the final analysis, the princess is for the mission and Nanjing.
This makes people feel sad.
Shangguan Chun was also a little embarrassed. He shut up and said nothing.
Meng Fang urged: "Master Yin, please continue."
The fourth master looked at the expressions of the people in the circle and then said: "...The princess found this matter difficult. The person who bandaged Bilan Khan's wound with her own hands was the second prince's biological mother Yun Ji, who was responsible for the procurement of various supplies for the royal court.
, but he is the uncle of the eldest prince. Only last year, that is, before the autumn hunting, the uncle of the eldest prince secretly accepted a beautiful concubine given by the third prince... And this concubine is said to be related to the fourth prince.
There is some connection between my biological mother..."
After saying this, everyone was immediately confused.
What's the meaning?
All four princes are suspects.
But who it is, there is no way to tell.
But no matter who it is, the culprit who gave these princes an opportunity must be the assassination. And the biggest suspect for the assassination is still the mission that came to Beikang last year.
Therefore, it seems that the fire did not burn the envoys, but they are always on the edge of the whirlpool and may be swallowed by the whirlpool at any time. And they only have 500 guards, even if they include the entourage of the lords, horsemen and cooks.
Counting all of them together, there are only 800 people. In their royal city, 800 people are not enough to fill the gap between their teeth.
Wenbo said: "Master Yin, you are a superior official, it is up to you to make the decision on this matter."
This was recognized by everyone, even Shangguan Chun nodded.
When it is really necessary, you have to turn to the imperial court for help. The imperial army is pressing down on the border and forcing Beikang to release the people. This is the only way. Beikang will release the people if the internal troubles are not eliminated. But if you want to ask the imperial court to send troops, you are here
Except for the father and son of the Yin family, I'm afraid no one has such a big reputation. With Yin Bofang's character, as long as he knows that the lives of his son and grandson are in danger, he will definitely do it at all costs.
Therefore, all small thoughts and personal calculations must be put aside. Nothing is more important than leaving safely. And if you want to leave safely, you can only follow Yin Cheng's lead.
Yin Chengzhi glanced at his son and then said: "Then please do whatever you want. As long as you don't leave the camp, it should be fine for the time being."
After everyone dispersed and the father and son returned to the tent, Yin Chengzhi asked: "Did Grandson tell you to say that?"
Fourth Master: "..." This really has nothing to do with Tongtong. I just know what she is going to do. Isn't it possible that I can't even cooperate with this?
He didn't answer. Fortunately, Yin Chengzhi didn't ask in detail. He just asked: "What's going on in Beikang?"
What I just said is true and false, it sounds like that, and it does make sense. But so many people gathered together to listen to a young man who had just returned from a stroll outside. Isn’t it suspicious? Everyone is suspicious.
Know they are talking about secret things.
Those scattered around the camp serving tea and water were all carefully placed by others.
When I entered the tent just now, it was not the same person who opened the curtain.
Obviously, what my son said outside just now was obviously intentional.
Why do you say that?
First, he wanted to spread these words to the ears of caring people. Second, it was a bit alarmist, but it actually made everyone within the mission unite.
The benefits are obvious.
But the more this happens, the more it proves that there is something fishy behind it.
Fourth Master didn't think it was a wise move to tell Yin Chengzhi everything. He selectively said some things, such as Bilan Khan was indeed injured and the wound was indeed badly festered. If there was no living dead doctor Bai Gu
The method was fatal. At the same time, it was revealed that Khan threatened to be buried and asked Princess Changning to thoroughly investigate the whole story of the murder.
Yin Cheng's belief is over.
There is a feeling that this is right.
Now, no matter what Chang Ning finds out, she can't say anything. She can't say it herself, but that doesn't mean she can't say it through other people's mouths. But whose mouth is the most credible to spread the word?
Of course, Chang Ning's private words to his family are the most credible.
That night, the words of the Yingguo mission's "secret conversation" were passed to the desks of various masters.
The eldest prince Bagan was almost furious: "Why is it my uncle who is in charge of the royal court's purchases... Beikang is not Nanjing, so there is no relationship between uncle and uncle... To put it this way, my uncle is enough to organize
A guard camp."
Immediately ask someone to find out who the so-called uncle of the buyer is.
It took me a long time to find out that he was a son born to his own grandmother. During the tribal wars in the early years, she and the women in the tribe were robbed by another tribe. Women will not be killed, and no one will
She fell in love with her chastity. She had intercourse with a man from another tribe and gave birth to a child. When her own tribe came back to take her away, the child had to be kept. Later, the war subsided. The two tribes had
We have been in contact with each other. Mother and son also know who is who, but that's all.
However, the supply here at home is indeed the best in the royal court except for Khan. The same goes for my grandmother. Of course, in order to live a better life. I am afraid that my grandmother and this so-called uncle are secretly in conflict with each other.
There are some interactions.
This was originally a trivial matter, but now that it's taken out, it's really hard to say.
It's not clear at all.
"Damn it!" Bagan took a deep breath, "I can only bite Qingge to death without letting go."
After Qingge listened carefully, he looked at his son Muren, who was going to Liangzhou tomorrow: "What do you think?"
Muren shook his head: "Are you really sure that this princess from Jingguo is helping us?"
Qingge chuckled: "She is a smart woman. If everyone is involved, we are really safe. If we really talk about it, our suspicions are the smallest. Who would be stupid enough to do it themselves? Everyone will think so.
, King Khan would also think so."
Muren hesitated for a moment and nodded slightly: "Abba, why don't we turn some people's stories into evidence?"
Qingge smiled at his son: "I'm making progress..."
Then he clapped his hands, and a man came outside that Muren had never seen before. His hair was so messy that he couldn't see his face.
Qingge whispered: "...that purchasing officer...I don't want him to see the sun tomorrow..."
When Bilan Khan summoned the purchasing officer, he discovered that he and his concubine, who was said to be given to him by the third prince and had some relationship with the biological mother of the fourth prince, were hanged.
Died in his tent.
Kill and silence!
This is what everyone is thinking about.
Originally, Bilan Khan was not convinced by Chang Ning's investigation results. This woman kept saying that she was investigating, but she always said that it was difficult and delayed day by day. If the spies hadn't come to report, he wouldn't have known that this woman had been investigated.
so much.
But he felt that this result was not convincing enough.
Beikang is different from Nanjing in that there are not so many so-called blood ties.
A woman who gives birth to children for herself will also be given to her ministers. So, are the children born by this woman also brothers and sisters of princes and princesses?
The strong are respected and interests form alliances.
That's all!
He was old, but he was not confused. Therefore, when the news came, he didn't really believe it. With a cautious attitude, he planned to call for questioning, but... the person died! He was killed!
People are dead! What does this mean?
It shows that someone has a guilty conscience!
So the result given by Chang Ning, even if it is not the final result, is not far from the truth.
The murderer who murdered him was among these sons and their mother.
Who is the one?
"Call them all..." He was furious like a wounded lion suffering endless pain, "And that woman from Changning... yes... and that woman..."
When Chang Ning received the call, he had just thrown the news that Lin Yutong had arrived into the fire.
The corners of her mouth curled up, she straightened her clothes, and it took her a long time to suppress the smile on her lips. When she arrived at the royal tent, several princes and their biological mothers were there.
Chang Ning actually really envied these women. He covered his nose without any scruples, and did not hide his distaste for the stench emanating from King Khan's body.
Yunji and the second prince knelt devoutly in the footsteps of King Khan.
The other three hated each other, even the fourth prince who was not yet an adult.
Bagan had thought it was a bit absurd to find such a person to implicate him before. But he never expected that this person, this so-called uncle, was dead!
They must have killed him to prove their murder of their father Khan...
But the third prince thought that the concubine he sent out was really just to make the purchasing officer take more care of his mother and stop making excuses to cause trouble. But who knew that this would happen?
A woman he had long forgotten was implicated in him. If he were alive, he would tell the truth after a few whips. As long as he could open his mouth, he would know, and his father would know that he was really innocent. But what a coincidence.
, this woman is also dead. Then the purpose of giving her to others in the first place has become a mystery. Now I can't explain it even if my body is covered with mouth.
He has reason to believe that this is the handiwork of the eldest prince Bagan. He must know that the woman named Changning is checking him, and he is anxious!
The fourth prince grinned and was as thin as a wolf with a fierce look in his eyes. He felt that the third prince had evil intentions and was deliberately trying to harm him. Why did he say that? Because the concubine he sent out was originally his biological mother's maidservant.
.So why did his biological mother's maid become the third prince's concubine? That's because the third prince coveted the beauty of the fourth prince's biological mother. He threatened more than once that when he ascended the throne in the future, he would do something to the fourth prince's biological mother. He even threatened her.
More than once, he stopped her in the middle of the road and started to touch her. So, the matter of sending the maid off came up.
With all kinds of old and new grudges, the three of them looked at each other like hungry wolves.
Bagan pointed out: "Almu must have asked someone to kill that man so that I would die without any evidence."
Almu identified Bagan: "The thief shouted to catch the thief, he is indeed treacherous."
Alatancang said: "...when Amudou saw me a few days ago, she said that she asked me to go to my pasture to see my sheep and horses... She said that she had a dream and it was from the gods.
Instructions... If I stay in the royal court, I'm afraid there will be disaster from heaven... I think she must have learned your secret from the purchasing officer... She knew I would be implicated, so she gave me a warning..."
Bilan Khan narrowed his eyes and asked his youngest son: "Who is Amudo?"
Alatan said hastily: "She was my mother's maid, the woman who was killed together with the purchasing officer..."
Khan believed his younger son's words more than Bagan and Almu's.
A little wolf cub that hasn't grown up yet can't live without his old wolf king who can only protect him as an adult.
So, his suspicious gaze passed over his eldest son and third son, and then he turned his gaze to his second son who was kneeling in front of him: "Tell me, who do you think the person behind this is...?"
Qingge didn't say anything, but Bagan stood up and laughed: "Father, he is the most treacherous. You don't know it yet, but he is sending the woman and child to Liangzhou... At this time, in
At this juncture... tell me, why did he do this? He has a fox tail that can't be hidden..."
Qingge looked frightened, knelt down and kowtowed: "Father, my father is so handsome... I have absolutely no intention... I am just scared... I am really scared... I don't know who intends to harm my father."
, but no matter who harmed Father Khan, this cotton yarn was used by Erchen's mother for Fatherhan... Erchen kept it... Erchen admitted any guilt... But Erchen prayed to Fatherhan to let Mu
Ren and Baoyin, let's go... If you want your son to die, your son will die in front of you immediately to apologize... My son promises that after his son's death, Muren and Baoyin will stay in Liangzhou forever and never set foot on the grassland again..."
"Treacherous southern barbarian." Bagan sneered.
"Cunning slave son!" Almu despised.
Chang Ning saw King Khan's eyes narrowed and his pupils shrank.
The scene suddenly came to a standstill.
Then she saw Yun Ji, who was closest to King Khan, move. She suddenly pulled out a knife, and before the guards rushed up, she pressed it against her own chest: "Everything is my fault. It's my fault. I'm careless."
Is there any investigation... I deserve to die for my crime... But Qingge is innocent... I am willing to die to apologize, and beg the Khan to spare Qingge's life, and ask him, his wife and children to go to Liangzhou... It's a matter of life
I just resign myself to fate..." As he said that, he put the tip of the knife against his chest and suddenly jumped towards the ground. The handle of the knife hit the ground, and the force was enough to drive the dagger in.
There was a burst of exclamation in the camp.
Qingge rushed over, picked up Yunji and ran out, calling for the doctor.
Chang Ning lowered his eyelids to cover the emotions in his eyes.
What a cruel trick!
Yun Ji sought death, and she did it in front of many people here, so how could she be held accountable for her crime?
After all, one’s life or death is unknown at this moment.
When Qingge came back, his body was still stained with blood. He knelt down obediently: "Father Khan is merciful, and Father Khan atones for his sins... If Father Khan allows his son to go to Liangzhou to reunite with his wife and children, my son will be grateful... No."
If you dare to think about something that does not belong to your son... please grant me your permission..."
"Stand up!" Bilan Khan looked at Qingge: "My son should be like the wolf king on the grassland, like the eagle on the top of the Cangshan Mountain. Don't imitate the Southern Barbarians...kneel down...please...
...That is what the weak rely on to survive..."
Qingge stood up respectfully, "Yes! Father Khan!"
"You!" Bilan Khan looked at Qingge, then at the other three sons standing below, and then back at Qingge, "I will leave this matter to you to investigate... Check it out, yes
Who killed two insignificant people..."
Qingge's eyes flashed slightly, and the curvature of the corners of his mouth suddenly relaxed: "Yes! Father Khan!"
Bilan Khan looked at the other three sons: "You are not allowed to leave your camp without my permission... If you violate the order..." His eyes passed over the three sons again, and he said softly:
Words: "Kill!"
"Father!" the other three shouted in unison.
You never expected such a result?
A feeling of grievance or resentment that I couldn't tell was in my heart instantly overflowed my whole body.
Everyone is thinking, you! My father, how could you treat me like this?
Bilan Khan saw this expression one by one, and after everyone had gone out, he asked Changning: "You said... which son is killing people and silencing them?"
Chang Ning shook his head: "I don't know. But I think King Khan must have made a decision in his heart."
"Smart woman..." Bilan Khan waved to Chang Ning, "Go! Use your people and your eyes to stare at Qingge..."
Changning raised his head and looked at Bilan Khan, and then slowly responded with the word 'yes'.
He still doubts Qingge!
Just use him to paralyze him!
Chang Ning said: "Then why don't you kill him now?"
Bilan Khan laughed loudly, but then collapsed on the couch. The pain from the wound made his consciousness a little hazy. Chang Ning heard in a daze, he said: Liangzhou is a barrier... Beikang cannot live without Liangzhou... Liangzhou cannot
There is no Qi Wei... Qi Wei... the love between children...
Chang Ning's eyes narrowed, and then he slowly retreated.
Qi Wei?
A very important little person!
One of his decisions affected the history of the two countries for more than ten years and the fate of many people.
Including her own!
"Liangzhou is a barrier... Beikang can't live without Liangzhou... Liangzhou can't live without Qi Wei..." Lin Yutong chewed the words Chang Ning handed over over and over again.
Liangzhou is a barrier. This meaning is easy to understand. Its geographical location is important, easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is the choke point to contain Beikang. On the contrary, if this place is occupied by Beikang, then Nanjing will be like Beikang.
They drove straight into the breeding grounds, burned, killed, and looted, and there was no way to stop them. The meaning of the marriage in Changning was to stop harassing the people from Beikang to the south.
It is precisely because of the importance of Liangzhou that Lin Yutong said that he would take it back as the foundation for Changning to live in peace and stability. As long as Liangzhou is in hand, she will be the most noble princess in the court. No one dares to underestimate her.
This is also the reason why Beikang cannot live without Liangzhou.
But Liangzhou cannot live without Qi Wei... What does this mean?
If someone else had said this, she wouldn't have cared. Unfortunately, it was Bilan Khan who said this.
For such a man who could be called a hero, she believed that this evaluation should be objective.
If Qi Wei is so important to Liangzhou, then if you want to win Liangzhou, you cannot get around such a person.
But time was too tight, and her understanding of Qi Wei was superficial.
Who knows Qi Wei?
Lin Yutong felt that the only person who could ask was Yin Chengzhi.
He didn't believe that the imperial court had never investigated such a traitor.
It seems that I can only go and see Yin Chengzhi secretly at night.
After midnight, she took Lin Liang out in a black cloak. Now the security of the royal city was much tighter than before. She didn't ask Lin Liang to come near, so she sneaked in by herself. The outermost guards were Beikang's guards.
It's called protection, but it's actually surveillance. I avoided this layer of guards. As soon as I entered, I was stopped by a voice: "Who?"
It’s Meng Fang’s voice!
"Me!" Lin Yutong lowered his voice and lifted a corner of the hat on his head.
Meng Fang pulled Lin Yutong and entered the nearest tent. He was about to salute, but Lin Yutong stopped him, "Let's do it easily. I want to see Mr. Yin, right away..."
Meng Fang pointed to the armor on one side: "Your Highness, put it on and come with me."
He had some armor, so he could put it on. He put his cloak on his arm, and no one noticed it because of the standard military uniform.
Yin Chengzhi was not asleep yet, and was writing a letter to the prince. The inkstone had already been polished and it was about to overflow, but the words he wanted to write could not fall on the paper.
What should I say?
It is said that this grandson is the grandson that Jingguo needs.
But even if Jingguo needs it, so what?
What’s fake is fake!
It just adds to the worries.
While he was hesitating, the guard came in and whispered: "A distinguished guest has arrived."
His hand that was about to put pen to paper shook, leaving only a thick dot of ink on the white paper.
Put down the pen and say in a gentle voice: "Please."
He just stood up and when he looked up, he saw his grandson in military uniform coming in.
"Your Highness!" You Mengzhi saluted respectfully.
Lin Yutong said "hmm" and glanced at Meng Fang. Meng Fang slowly exited, "I'm guarding outside."
Yin Chengzhi looked outside, and after only a few encounters, Meng Fang obeyed his words. What a way to control his subordinates!
"I wonder if His Highness came late at night, but what changes have occurred in the Beikang Royal Court?" He gathered his thoughts and asked about business first.
Lin Yutong got straight to the point: "I came here tonight just to ask about Qi Wei, and I also ask Master Yin to tell you everything."
Yin Chengzhi was silent at first, and then asked: "Why is Your Highness suddenly interested in this person?"
"Some people say... Liangzhou cannot live without Qi Wei..." Lin Yutong's expression became more serious, "What do you think of this?"
Yin Chengzhi was silent again: "Your Highness, can you tell me...who said this?"
"Bilan Khan." Lin Yutong waited closely for Yin Chengzhi's expression. She didn't know why she was just asking a traitor, why Yin Chengzhi was silent twice when he mentioned him.
"Bilan Khan?" Yin Chengzhi sighed: "Finally, someone gave Qi Wei a fair evaluation..."
Lin Yutong became more and more puzzled by these words. It seemed that Yin Chengzhi not only had no objection to Qi Wei's words, but also seemed to have something more in mind.
"Please don't hide it from me." Lin Yutong gritted his teeth, "This is very important for the next thing..."
Yin Chengzhi raised his eyebrows: "The next thing... shouldn't we not act rashly next? What? Is there anything else we don't know about Your Highness..."
This is an old fox with a particularly sensitive sense of smell!
Lin Yutong whispered: "The real grandson and the fake grandson are all trivial matters. The big thing is...you think, if we can capture Liangzhou smoothly, is this the most important thing at the moment..."
Yin Chengzhi squinted his eyes and looked Lin Yutong up and down: "You really dare to think about it."
"I not only dare to think, I also dare to do it." Lin Yutong leaned forward, "Not only do I dare to do it, I have already started... There is no turning back... No matter whether it succeeds or not, I have to keep doing it...
Now there is a cliff behind... If you don't go forward... Beikang will react sooner or later... Taking a step back will lead to an abyss... But if you go forward and jump over, it may be a smooth road... So, be sure to tell me what you want.
Everything you know about Qi Wei..."
Yin Chengzhi pursed his lips and his chest heaved up and down: "You want to tell me that you brought the entire envoy in with you..."
"Coercion?" Lin Yutong frowned, "It's not a coercion. It's an order! So far, I am still the grandson! My words are the will. How can following the order be called coercion? Master Yin, this is a question from the grandson, so
, please tell the truth."
"Tell me the truth?" Yin Chengzhi sneered: "Are you sure you want me to tell the truth?"
Lin Yutong nodded: "No matter what happened... we have to face it head-on... Just tell me, I am mentally prepared. Since ancient times, only when there is a foolish king, will the ministers become famous. Only when there is a foolish king, will the generals be judged. That's all!"
"Ha!" These words made Yin Chengzhi take advantage of him. "You dare to say it. Since you told the truth, it's okay to tell you. Now in Nanjing, no one dares to say this.
Slowly, it will be forgotten. But I still say that history books should give Qi Wei a fair evaluation."
Following Yin Chengzhi's narration, Lin Yutong learned that Qi Wei was born in Weiyuanbo Mansion, and since childhood he chose to be with Emperor Xuanping Lin Chengyun, who was still the prince, as a companion, but he was better at martial arts. Qi Wei's martial arts master
, it was Lin Chengyun who asked for it from the late emperor for him. Later, the little prince grew up to become the eldest prince, and the little companion also became the eldest companion.
Qi Wei joined the Huwei Army at the age of fourteen and was stationed in Liangzhou. As he rose to prominence in the army, he helped Lin Chengyun more and more. The two of them relied on each other, one at the court and the other at the border. Until Lin Chengyun
Chengyun ascended the throne and became Emperor Xuanping.
That year, Emperor Xuanping and Qi Wei were both twenty-four years old.
Emperor Xuanping already had a prince, Lin Pingzhang, and a daughter, Princess Changping. The queen was also pregnant with Prince Wu'an Lin Pingze. Where was Qi Wei? His cousin was married to him at home when he was sixteen, but because he had no time to come back to worship, the two of them
The marriage has never been consummated. His cousin has been living in another courtyard and rarely seen people. But when Qi Wei excitedly went to see his wife, he saw that his wife was already pregnant...
