In Changping County, the back garden of the capital, the snow is very heavy and the wind is louder, I don't know which day in winter it is. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

An ordinary house, in the east wing of the backyard.

Han Qishan, the second son of the Han family, who was sitting in a wheelchair, smiled lightly, and his voice was slow and low: "Ye Jinxin of the Zhengbei League, we have to meet first, and we have understood his specific thoughts before we can act." ”

Liu Shuangli pursed her lips and was silent, she was very anxious to find Lian'er, but she also knew that without the help of Yongding Hou Hanfu, she would not be able to move an inch. And Han Ergongzi's words are not right, it is really not easy to go out on snowy days. What's more, there is also the Fifth Hall Master of the Zhengbei Alliance, who is Lian'er's father and a person she apologizes for. Even if you want to look for someone, if you don't talk to the father of the person you're looking for first, you really don't want to go.

Therefore, Liu Shuangli nodded and agreed with Han Qishan's statement.

"If you can, Second Master Han, can you let me meet Lian'er's father too?" Liu Shuangli said earnestly.

"Of course you can," Han Qishan smiled lightly, "Miss Liu should have met this Hall Master Ye in person. ”

Liu Shuangli smiled embarrassedly: "Maybe the second prince doesn't know yet, I have seen the Ye Hall Master of the Zhengbei League before." ”

"Oh, I know this," Han Qishan smiled like a spring breeze, "The third brother has mentioned to me in detail that Miss Liu's previous adventures have met the hall masters of the Zhengbei Alliance. This Ye Hall Master is one of the girls who will be. ”

"Said that it would pass, but in fact, it was just a face, and the second son smiled. Liu Shuangli said with a slightly red face.

Han Qishan smiled again: "In any case, we have met in the end, so it will not be so difficult to meet again, and then Miss Liu will naturally understand more." ”

"Well, thank you Son. Liu Shuangli nodded back.

Miss Liu was polite. ”

Liu Shuangli smiled slightly, took the teacup handed over by Han Qishan, and took a sip.

Han Qishan smiled with his eyebrows, picked up the teapot and refilled the empty teacup with new tea.

"If there is another person's situation, Miss Liu wants to know?" Han Qishan put down the teapot and said again.

"Who?"

"The former Jizhou forward nomadic captain, Chen Fan. ”

"Hey, what's wrong with him?" Liu Shuang said strangely.

Han Qishan lowered his eyebrows slightly: "He is now following most of the brothers in the original Jizhou City and has switched to the Zhengbei League. ”

"Huh?"

"And the bandit gang that once entertained Miss Liu for half a month is now divided and no longer a gang. Han Qishan lowered his eyebrows and said.

"They-" Liu Shuangli paused slightly, and sighed softly after a while, "That's fine, the gang is dispersed, and they can no longer go to the road to rob and do evil, then the people on Jingbei Road will be much better." ”

Han Qishan smiled softly when he heard this: "Miss Liu thinks it's a good thing?"

"Isn't it?" asked Liu Shuangli rhetorically.

Han Qishan smiled and took a sip of tea: "I want to come too." ”

Liu Shuangli blinked: "What does the second son want to say?"

Han Qishan's inky eyes looked at Liu Shuangli: "About Chen Fan, as well as the Zhengbei League, how much does Miss Liu know?"

Liu Shuangli thought for a while and said: "Chen Fan is the son of Mr. Chen in Peizhou, although he is a bandit, but judging from my contact in the past half a month, he is still a good person." And the third prince of the Zhengbei League has told me before. What's wrong with this?"

Han Qishan nodded and said, "Chen Fan won't say it for the time being, as for the Zhengbei League, Miss Liu only knows its past, not its present. ”

"Now, what's the problem?"

Han Qishan's eyebrows narrowed slightly, put down the teacup in his hand, and put his hands on the handles on both sides of the wheelchair: "Today's Zhengbei League, what you have done is almost rebellious, does Miss Liu know?"

"They-" Liu Shuangli wanted to refute, but suddenly remembered that year in Xuanhua, the whole city was under martial law for nearly half a year, in order to catch Qin Siwei, and it was the Zhengbei League that protected Qin Siwei.

"That year's Xuanhua martial law," Han Qishan calmly continued, "The Zhengbei Alliance lost His Highness Qin Siwei, which is equivalent to losing the meaning of existence for them who have been operating underground. So, in order to survive, they had to find another person. ”

Liu Shuangli was taken aback: "Who did they find?"

"King Ping Qin Siyou. ”

"Ping Wang Qin Siyou?"

"King Ping of Qingyang" Han Qishan said lightly, "He is the only one among the current princes and kings who is still sitting in the north." Although he no longer has any real power, he still has a lot of influence in the northwest. ”

Liu Shuangli was already stunned: "What the hell are they in the Zhengbei Alliance-hey, I remember that they still have a lot of relationship with King Ning, they-hey-." ”

Han Qishan frowned slightly, picked up the teapot on the table with one hand, and slowly poured himself a drink.

Outside the house, the snow was heavy, and the wind was fierce, and the windows were crackling non-stop.

The two people in the room were silent, and for a long time, Liu Shuangli seemed to think of something, looked at Han Qishan and said, "And Chen Fan, those people in Jizhou, do they think the same way?"

Han Qishan did not let go of his brows, and put down the teacup in his hand: "Chen Fan, the former forward nomadic captain of Jizhou, saved the life of Qin Siyou, who was still the prince of King Ping at that time, by chance many years ago. Because of this, the two parties, who have always been at odds, tolerated each other and began formal cooperation. ”

Liu Shuangli's eyes widened: "Start cooperating, they?"

Han Qishan nodded.

"Is this a good thing or a bad thing?"

Han Qishan lowered his eyebrows and smiled lightly, and his smile was very profound: "Good or not, I can't judge the two of them." But for the imperial court, I can say bluntly that this is not a good thing. ”

"The Imperial Court?"

"Yes. Han Qishan nodded.

"What's wrong with the imperial court?"

Han Qishan asked rhetorically, "Doesn't Miss Liu care?"

"Ahh

"Looking at the body of the saint today, there is no hope of surviving this winter. And above the court, the crown prince is on the throne, and the saint is gone, and he will inherit the unification without any suspense. Doesn't Miss Liu care?"

Liu Shuangli lowered his head and was stunned for a long time, and then raised his head at the end, his eyes staring at Han Qishan: "I care, what can I do?"

Han Qishan frowned slightly, and looked back at Liu Shuangli with his eyes: "Miss Liu has been traveling the world for some time, and the chaos under Fang today and the difficulties of the people's lives must have been deeply understood, right?"

Liu Shuangli jumped from his eyebrows and nodded.

Han Qishan turned his eyes to look at the 'crackling' window: "Has Miss Liu ever thought that in today's world, there will be more chaos?"

Liu Shuangli was pensive and shook his head.

Han Qishan sighed again: "The court is unstable, the treasury is empty, the officials are corrupt, and the localities are independent. There is no tossing in this world. ”

A gust of wind blew open the windows that had been blown loose for a long time. The white and crystal clear snowflakes swept into the house with the strong wind.

Liu Shuangli stood up, walked to the window, greeted the snowflakes that kept rolling into the house, held the two windows that were blown open by the wind with both hands, and stared deeply into the distance with a pair of eyes as bright as stardust.

After a long time, Liu Shuangli closed the window, turned back to the table, and sat down again.

After being silent for a long time, Liu Shuangli asked again: "Can the second prince tell me what happened to the first section of Jizhou when Xuanhua and Jizhou jointly sent troops to Mengdi many years ago?"

Han Qishan smiled indifferently, nodded and said, "This is actually not a complicated matter. Miss Liu also knows that the main target of the Jizhou defenders is the Manchurians in the northeast. And that year, the two ministries of Xuanhua and Jizhou planned to jointly send troops to Mengdi, which was an extremely secret matter, and it was impossible for outsiders to know about it. The Manchurians who didn't want to go to the northeast got the news in advance and were ready to move. The first department of Jizhou, which got the news, had to repeatedly postpone the departure time originally agreed with Xuanhua in order to prevent the Manchurians from taking advantage of the emptiness of Jizhou City to come to sneak attack. But it didn't act as planned, but it failed to notify Xuanhua in time in advance. Therefore, it indirectly caused the later annihilation of the Xuanhua First Army. ”

Liu Shuangli was stunned for a moment: "So, as a survivor of the Xuanhua First Division, they have always been resentful of Jizhou in the Zhengbei League. ”

"Yes. ”

"What about Chen Fan, what went wrong with him in this matter, so that he had to flee without hesitation afterwards?"

Han Qishan frowned slightly: "After hearing that Jizhou decided to postpone the dispatch of troops, the person sent to inform the Xuanhua Department was Chen Fan." I don't want him to set out from Jizhou in May of that year to be found in Yanqing in August of that year, and for three whole months, no one knows where he went and what happened. In these three months, more than 80,000 people in Xuanhua and Jizhou have been wiped out. ”

"Does no one really know where he went?"

Han Qishan nodded affirmatively.

With Han Qishan's silence, the room in the east wing fell silent again. After a long time, Liu Shuangli broke the silence again and asked, "From Jizhou to Xuanhua, it is possible to pass through the capital, right?"

Han Qishan chuckled: "It's possible to pass by." ”

Liu Shuangli thought for a while, and then asked: "That year, when the army was sent to Mengdi, Xuanhua wanted to unite with other troops due to insufficient troops, why didn't you ask the nearest capital to transfer troops, but instead found Jizhou City near and far?"

Faced with this question, Han Qishan still shook his head calmly and did not answer.

Liu Shuangli put his hands around his chest, and he also bowed his head and said nothing.

At this moment, the door of the east wing was gently pushed open from the outside, and a fair-faced waiter of about fifteen or sixteen years old walked in.

"Second son, it's not too early, it's time for dinner. The boy whispered.

"What about them?" asked Han Qishan.

"I've been waiting for the second son and Miss Liu in the hall. The boy replied.

Han Qishan asked again, "What's wrong with Mingyu?"

"Brother Ming is already much better, and Xiuyu is guarding him. ”

Han Qishan nodded, turned to Liu Shuangli, smiled and invited her to go to dinner with him. Liu Shuangli was not polite to shirk, and nodded in agreement.

A dinner, under the warm hospitality of the host, was eaten harmoniously.

It's the depths of winter, and the wind and snow are getting more and more ferocious day by day.

As Han Qishan said, today's saint, before this winter was over, the news of his death came. His Royal Highness the young crown prince successfully ascended to the throne and inherited the throne. (To be continued.) )
