Chapter 548 A letter from afar (seeking a bank note)
If Chen Ang also came from Jiang Fan's world, he would definitely reply to Jiang Fan, "I guess your sister!"
But Chen Ang is a native of another world, so it is naturally impossible for him to be able to follow Jiang Fan's world.
So when faced with Jiang Fan's hateful, teeth-itching response, Chen Ang's face darkened and he stopped asking any more questions.
He probably had some guesses.
It's just that this kind of speculation is too shocking, so if it can't be confirmed for the time being, it's not necessarily a bad thing.
The most important thing is that, speaking from his own heart, Chen Ang found that if his guess was true, he actually expected to see such a development.
Although he has become the scholar leader of Great Zhou, Great Zhou... is not his Great Zhou after all.
At the same time, in the city guard's mansion, Gu Yan handed a handwritten letter to the man in plain clothes in front of him.
The handwriting is stamped with the official seal of the city guard, and there is also another very special seal.
The man in plain clothes solemnly took the handwritten letter and said, "Uncle, have you... thought about it?"
"Of course, what's there to think about? Haoran is dead...what's the point of living for me? When Xiaojie left, her only wish was for me to take good care of Haoran. As a result, even with such a wish, I couldn't even replace it.
She's done, how should I face her when she's under the Nine Springs?"
Gu Yan said expressionlessly.
"Miss Izumi knows better and won't blame you. Uncle, no one can do anything about this matter. The responsibility does not lie with you."
The man in plain clothes spoke to console him.
"Needless to say these words, others think that I hold a high position and am the emperor's confidant. Being arranged to Heyang City represents the emperor's will. But these things cannot exchange for Haoran's life. So for me
If you talk about it, it doesn’t make any sense.”
Gu Yan shook his head and continued: "But you still have to be prepared after all. In order to make the whole thing more acceptable to the emperor, you used the power of your family to incite the refugees in Chengdu to rebel. Speaking of which,
You have simply taken too many risks."
"My uncle's words are too outrageous. Besides, you also know the situation of our family. If the old man hadn't thought it would be of sufficient benefit to the family, then the old man would not have agreed to do this even if it was because of Master Haoran's death.
Means. After all... in the eyes of the old man, Master Haoran is always an outsider."
The man in plain clothes leaned forward and said.
Gu Yanzhi was stunned for a moment, looked at the man in plain clothes, and said, "Instigating the refugees in Chengdu to rebel... what benefits can this kind of thing bring to your family?"
"Uncle, the defeat of the Eastern Expeditionary Army of the Great Zhou Dynasty has made the entire domestic situation extremely turbulent. In order to provide sufficient resources for the Eastern Expeditionary Army, His Majesty the Emperor has squeezed the country to an extreme state. Now it is not just the common people who are complaining.
, Even if you are a member of aristocratic families, who doesn’t have many opinions on His Majesty the Emperor?”
The man in plain clothes smiled and continued: "So this time, we incited the refugees in Chengdu to rebel, and at the same time cooperated secretly to allow the refugees in Chengdu to truly occupy Chengdu. This is actually to give a warning to other aristocratic families. Now Da Zhou
…It’s not nearly as strong on the inside as they think.”
Gu Yan's expressionless face finally showed a look of surprise, and he said, "Old man...he is so old, does he still have such ambitions?"
"You are ambitious because you are young, but as you know, my uncle, the old man has always been cautious in character, so although he has such thoughts, he will not really stand in front of the stage before he is sure. Therefore, Rongcheng is just a
The first introduction, and this incident involving you is the second introduction. The old man believes that when these two incidents occur one after another, it will be enough for all interested people to see how weak Da Zhou is now."
The man in plain clothes said with a smile.
"However, the strength of your family, among all the aristocratic families, is at the upper-middle level at most. Even if the Great Zhou Dynasty is really in chaos, what will happen?"
Gu Yan asked with a frown.
"It's easy to fish in troubled waters. As long as the Great Zhou Dynasty is in chaos, there will be opportunities. But if the Great Zhou Dynasty is not chaotic, there will be no chance at all. This choice... is not difficult to make."
The man in plain clothes leaned forward and said.
"Okay, I understand. You go ahead and don't let anyone discover your whereabouts. During this period, the people in Prince Wu's Mansion have been monitoring me very closely. Be careful to avoid their sight."
Gu Yan waved his hand and said.
"Yes, uncle."
The man in plain clothes agreed, then disappeared into the room.
In the whole room, Gu Yan was the only one left in a daze, and after a long time, he smiled to himself.
He murmured to himself: "It's really interesting. There are too many dogs, and they are all ferocious dogs. I wanted to put them on a chain before, which made these fierce dogs very unhappy. Now that I have returned home with scars, these fierce dogs are now unhappy."
I smell the smell of blood. I’ve only heard of raising tigers, but I didn’t expect...it won’t work if we raise too many dogs..."
Gu Yan's mood was a little complicated.
King Wu Zhou Di in King Wu's Mansion was also in an unpredictable mood at this time.
Sitting in the study, holding a piece of letter paper in his hand, Zhou Di looked serious as he looked at the words written on the letter paper.
This letter appeared inexplicably in his study early this morning.
Being able to sneak into his study quietly without alerting the palace guards, put down his things at the same time, and then leave again quietly. The strength of the person who sent the message is terrifying enough!
But what Zhou Di was really worried about was not the identity of the person who sent the letter, but the content revealed in the letter.
He has been reading these contents for a whole hour. Although the contents are very small and can be read in a few breaths, he still read them repeatedly for a long time and kept thinking at the same time.
The Lin family in the city, the mysterious Lin family behind Jiang Fan, turned out to be from the Red Army!
Such news really shocked Zhou Di.
So much so that after thinking for a whole hour, he couldn't tell whether the news was true or false!
When the Zhou Dynasty unified the four kingdoms, during the entire war, the people who really caused huge losses and resistance to the Zhou Dynasty were the red-coated troops of Nanliang!
Even if Nanliang had not been disintegrated from the inside and Zhou Dynasty could attack the Red Army from both inside and outside, then the final trend of this war may have undergone fundamental changes.
However, there was a tacit cooperation between Nanliang and Dazhou at that time, which finally completely disintegrated the Red Army and almost completely destroyed it on the battlefield.
Could it be that... there are still seeds left in that red-coated soldier?
After thinking for a while, Zhou Di cleared his throat and said toward the outside of the study: "Who's here, call Lin Shenghe over."
