Chapter 267: Suspicion
"Okay!" Miao Luhou knew that it was pointless to argue with Duan Lianqing about this matter, "Then why do you think she came from the wrong way?" β
"Think about it, isn't it strange that Dong Zhao saw the princess who he had been looking for for a long time so easily on his way to run an errand? That Denglin Country is only a small country, and the entire territory is equivalent to Huolan City, if it is really a princess, it will nest in such a small place? The more Duan Lianqing thought about it, the more wrong things became. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
"Didn't someone raise this question of yours when the sect leader just proposed that he would accept the holy woman's Islam?" Miao Luhou remembered this very clearly, he felt that there was no problem with Duan Yi's explanation at that time, and he was still on Duan Yi's side at that time, "The holy woman has the jade phoenix accessory of the former queen mother, and after she arrived in Huolan City, the sect leader also called the sect members over as soon as possible, and inspected the jade phoenix under the witness of everyone." You were there at the time, it's really the same! If that jade phoenix is true, then the other aspects you mentioned are not a problem, things have passed for so many years, who knows what the prince experienced back then? Small places are safer, aren't they? β
"That jade phoenix just looks the same. I'm alsoβ" Duan Lianqing seemed to rely more on intuition, "But if you really want to imitate it, you have to find a skilled craftsman to make it according to the appearance of the picture, and it is not difficult to copy one, right?" β
"But it's hard to make an ancient jade that is one or two hundred years old, right?" Miao Luhou pointed out a point, "And the most important point is, what are the benefits of pretending to be orphans of the previous dynasty? "The court doesn't care about them, the descendants of the previous dynasty, but if they are members of the royal family, it may not be. Didn't those soldiers and horses want to exterminate the royal family of Yasukuni back then, and the prince's line will be separated?
"Of course there are benefits!" Duan Lianqing raised her voice and said, "Didn't you see that?" There's a whole Jing Si Sect for her to drive! She was picked up by my father, and since then she has been high in the Jingsi Sect! β
"You're right...... too" Miao Luhou echoed Duan Lianqing, but as soon as Ming'er heard it, he knew that he didn't quite believe in the statement that the saint girl Duan Lianqing was referring to was fake, so he skipped this question and moved on to another point that he was more concerned about, "If she came back just to drive Jing Sijiao to do things for her, then we have to watch out for her!" Who knows what she's secretly trying to do? β
Duan Lianqing was obviously also concerned about this, so she was quickly brought into this topic by him as Miao Luhou hoped: "Then let's set off back to Huolan City, I have to probe my father's tone and see what their follow-up actions are!" In addition, I was annoyed before, and when I think about my father's behavior, it was also a little strange, and he only told me to accept the disciples, but he didn't say anything about it, it wasn't like what he did on a daily basis. He used to teach me everything, and he would teach me everything several times. At that time, this sentence seemed to remind me to 'wear more clothes and don't catch a cold', and I don't think he himself may even understand how this disciple is going to do it! β
"Thenβwhen you go back, are you still looking for Ruyi Langjun along the way?" Miao Luhou's old words are recalled.
"......" Duan Lianqing was silent for a while, "Look! Why not watch it? When the time comes, I will compare while watching, and if there is a better one than you, of course I will choose the better one! "This is quite impressive, but in Miao Luhou's ears, I'm afraid it's more happy! Leaving aside the angry part of Duan Lianqing's words, the rest is that she has actually accepted him a little! There is a better candidate than him, if not, it is him!
"Okay, I'll watch it with you!" Miao Luhou's tone was already very relaxed at this time.
After saying this, Miao Luhou and Duan Lianqing did not mention the topic of that saint after that, and Song Chen and Su Miao also brought the focus of attention back to their private room.
They had been listening to it all the time, and it was very quiet in the private room. They have been in the private room for more than an hour, if it is in another restaurant, unless they know their identity or they have shown the owner of the Eight Fresh Fang, if it is another restaurant with good business, even if the store will not be expelled, but it will appear frequently, implying that it is almost time to settle the bill and leave. According to Song Chen, the business of this restaurant is also very good, and he has made plans to do so, but now if Xiao Er comes in, he will order some more dishes and send them in, so as to prolong their stay in the private room. But for some reason, the shopkeeper has not appeared.
Xiao Bai and Xiao Lan both slept very well because of this, and by the time Su Miao noticed them, they both began to snore. Su Miao wanted to laugh when she looked at their sleeping posture with their necks crossed. Xiaobai has always been so arrogant that he can sleep on his stomach as much as he wants, but Xiaolan has to lean his head over and arch around Xiaobai's brain to find a position that he thinks is comfortable. At first, Xiaobai was still very impatient with Xiaolan who was grinding like this, and usually slapped it back and forth, but Xiaolan, who was slapped in the face, didn't learn a lesson at all, and still did the same. Judging from the fact that the two of them didn't make any movement at all before going to bed, Xiaobai should have adapted to Xiaolan's little habit.
"It seems that the little white lion that Inoran is looking forward to is just around the corner." Song Chen saw Su Miao paying attention to the two lions, and smiled, and somehow seemed to be a little envious in his words.
Su Miao felt that she should be wrong, how could Song Chen envy Xiaobai? She flicked a finger and just knocked on Xiaobai's plastic bag: "Dabai, wake up!" Go back and sleep again! Otherwise, the restaurant will drive people out! β
Although Xiaobai slept soundly, it was still very vigilant by nature, and when Su Miao suddenly came like this, it immediately jumped up. Xiaolan has always had a bigger heart, but when Xiao Bai jumped it, it had nothing to hold on to its head next to the latter's head, and fell directly to the ground, so it also woke up, looked at Xiao Bai blankly, and then looked at Su Miao and Song Chen.
Su Miao went to the back of the door and pulled the bell to remind the shopkeeper to come in and settle the bill. In the private room next door, Duan Lianqing and Miao Luhou seemed to be coming to an end, anyway, they heard what they should have heard, so let's leave before the other party leaves! So as not to encounter any unnecessary trouble face-to-face.
returned to the inn, and as soon as they entered Su Miao's room, Xiaobai and Xiaolan quickly lay on the ground again and continued to sleep. Their dinner had been eaten for too long, and it was time for each of them to freshen up and go to bed at this hour. So when they entered the inn door, they ordered someone to bring hot water, and soon a guy brought it.
After Su Miao finished combing and washing, she dried her hair and was just about to go to bed, when she heard the door knock again: "Miaomiao? β
Miaomiao had to go over and open the door: "Why don't you sleep yet?" Aren't you going to hurry tomorrow? β
"Miao Miao is sleepy?" Song Chen was stunned. He felt that before he heard those words in the restaurant, he had some doubts and wanted to discuss them with her, and they were like this in the past, so he came over as soon as he cleaned up, but he didn't think about sleeping. He really didn't feel sleepy.
"It's not ......" Su Miao is also a matter of habit, she is used to going to bed after freshening up, but there is no problem if she goes to bed later, "Do you want to talk about that holy woman?" "Since you have to go out tomorrow, it is not convenient to talk about these problems on the road, so let's sort them out tonight. Originally, they had seen the holy maiden on the way to the snowfield, but at that time, they felt that they should not take care of other people's affairs, so they did not continue to follow, and when they heard Duan Lianqing say this today, she also felt that she was a little interested in her again. It seems that this so-called "orphan of the former dynasty" is still a little not simple.
"Hmm. I just think it's a little weird. Song Chen sat down, "We have all met that Duan Yi more than once, and from what I have observed, as a sect leader, he is a calm and assertive person enough. And he also said in front of the sect at the time that the reason why he wanted to take this holy woman back was because he wanted to continue the royal bloodline of the year, but in fact, the bigger reason was because his ancestors felt that they owed something to others, so they wanted to take it back to make amends. In this way, it means that before meeting the holy woman, Duan Yi actually didn't think about what the holy woman had to do with the religious affairs of the Jing Si Sect. β
Su Miao nodded, she also remembered that Duan Yi seemed to have emphasized to the sect members in the council hall that it was his Duan family's business to pick up the Holy Maiden, and she would not disturb others too much.
"So herein lies the problem." Song Chen's fingers habitually tapped on the table. Su Miao wanted to silence the action too late, although the force of the knock was not large, but it was still quite loud in a quiet room, Xiaobai woke up immediately after hearing the sound, but it looked up and looked around, and found that there was nothing unusual about the two masters talking at the table, and after looking at them twice, it silently fell back to the same place. Xiaolan raised her head consciously, was pressed back by Xiaobai's palm, and still hummed in its ear, that means, it should be Xiaolan to leave it nosy and continue to sleep?
"Since Duan Yi didn't have anything to do with this holy woman's Jing Si Sect in the first place, why did he change his mind immediately after seeing her?" Song Chen said thoughtfully, "Come to think of it, it was the saintess who took the initiative to mention it, and put forward some reasons to convince Duan Yi." Let Yasukuni regain its glory...... This is said to be small and small, and big is also big. The meaning behind this sentence was actually in the private room before, and Duan Lianqing and Miao Luhou's mouths were already about to come out, but out of taboo, they never dared to say it.
"What do you mean, the thing that the saint used to advocate to make Duan Yi tempted was to restore the Yasukuni of the previous dynasty?" Su Miao didn't have any scruples, so she said it directly.
"I can't think of any other reason than that." Song Chen nodded, but his eyebrows were still frowning, "But there is a question that I can't figure out - if Duan Yi has this kind of thought, then he has already done it when he has been with Jing Sijiao for so many years, how could it be his turn to be agitated by a woman who is powerless?" "They passed by the holy woman that day, and he had specially noticed that the other party really had no internal strength foundation.
"This woman wants martial arts without martial arts, and if she wants financial resources, she doesn't have financial resources-" If she had financial resources, she shouldn't be living in a small country, and when she went to Huolan City, she would have to wait for Duan Yi to find a way to settle her.
"Then what kind of reason did she use to convince Duan Yi that he would succeed by listening to her?" Song Chen felt that this was the most worthy point, "Duan Lianqing also said, she feels that in the past three months, Duan Yi's temperament has changed greatly. If you feel this way, then he must have done a lot of things that are not in line with his usual behavior. And what can make him change so completely must be that there is something in the hands of that saint that makes Duan Yi extremely convincing! So what could it be? "Restoration of the country is not just a sentence, at present, Duan Yi only has some sect members composed of old people from the previous dynasty in his hands, listening to Miao Luhou's words, most of these people are businessmen, and if they want financial resources, there should be some, but what reason does he have to ensure that these sect members will put aside the current days of stability and prosperity, and follow him to do these things that will raid the family and clan if they are exposed?
"Could it be that the holy woman has a treasure map or something?" Su Miao thought of what she saw in the play, "If they find the treasure, they will be very rich and rich, and then they can recruit troops and horses...... The saint said that she was reproducing the glory of Yasukuni, and she didn't say that she wanted to unify Dalan, so they occupied one or two cities and set themselves up as kings, as long as the place was comparable to the previous Yasukuni, it could be regarded as 'glory'! And those sect members, as long as they promise to be crowned high-ranking officials after the restoration of the country, it is not difficult to tempt them, right? β
"That makes sense, but it's a bit far-fetched to think about." Song Chen shook his head, "If that holy woman really has a treasure in her hand, then she must have done it early in the morning, so why wait until she returns to Jingsi Sect to start?" That Duan Yi must have something for her to rely on. But what advantages does Duan Yi have? In addition to Jing Sijiao in his hand, when it comes to money, he should not be as rich as the Miao family. β
"Speaking of which, the conclusion is that their group of people can't stir up any wind and waves for the time being, right?" Su Miao came to a conclusion about Song Chen's analysis, "There must be something strange, but at the moment, they want money or not, and there is no one to ask for people, so they don't have to care too much about it for a while." β
"Well, as you said, they want money or not, they want no people, but Duan Yi still started to do something." Song Chen furrowed his eyebrows, "Then there must be some mysteries behind this matter that we don't knowβ"
"That-" Su Miao blinked, "Shall we go to Huolan City to take a look?" β
