Three hundred and fifty-two years later, Zhao Hejue, the second prince of Jiangzhu State, was decisive, brave and promising, and complied with everyone's call to ascend the throne and was titled Emperor Jiangyu. The pen %fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info his mother Jiang Xinrong was canonized as the Empress Dowager Xingjia. Fellow sister Zhao Hexiu married Yu Cangzheng as a concubine in the Qing Ming Kingdom. His brother Zhao Hexuan was named King Qian, and soon moved to the south with his subordinates to station his own territory. His half-siblings, except for the fourth prince Zhao Hefeng and the ninth princess Zhao Hecai, who disappeared unknown, all left the palace alone and had their own Beppu.

After the agreement between the Zhu Kingdom and the Qing Ying Kingdom, the co-prosperity was opened, and the surface was prosperous, but there were many failures and differences in the inside under the gold and jade. First of all, the Qing Ming Kingdom was officially stationed in the Jiangzhu State, arranging the foreign forces, and its monarch's power in the Jiangzhu State was second only to Zhao Hejue, and one after another harsh policies made the people more and more overwhelmed, and then they continued to ask for the labor and material resources of the Jiangzhu State, and shared the resources of the Jiangzhu State for free, so that the self-sufficient life of the people was affected. Zhao Hejue turned a deaf ear to these and sternly stated that the state would not raise useless waste, and the people who did not pay according to the regulations were expelled, and under the double pressure of body and mind, the production capacity of the people did increase significantly, but these were far from being satisfied with the needs of Zhao Hejue and Cang Zhengqing, so they hit the idea to the Wushu country in the east direction. The following year, after making good arrangements, the Jiang Zhu Kingdom and the Qing Ming Kingdom jointly officially declared war on the Wushu Kingdom, citing "expansion".

The country was in turmoil, the poor people took the opportunity to rise, and Zhao Hexuan openly rebelled, and since then, the people of the whole country have been in dire straits, and peace is difficult to regain. On that day, the old ministers and cadres who promoted Zhao Hejue to the throne hung their heads and regretted it, some were ashamed of the first emperor and hanged themselves, and some resigned and went away. Fortunately, although the powerful Wushu State has been attacked many times, it is always on the defensive, although such a tolerant attitude has boosted the arrogance of Zhao Hejue and Cang Zhengqi, but it has also made the people breathe a sigh of relief, if the Wushu Kingdom also attacks the Jiangzhu State, how should they live that day.

The old man in his twilight years sighed, drank the slightly cold tea in the cup, and then searched the copper plate in the bag, and did not find the last one for a long time, Bai Qi held his hand and said: "Old man, forget it, the recent days have not been easy, you still come to patronize my business, I am already very happy." ”

The old man's frowning brows loosened slightly, and he sighed again, "Boss Bai, don't you say that you have undercharged us several times recently," he looked at a few friends sitting with him and said, "Look for it again, is there anything else?" ”

Several people patted him and looked at him in embarrassment.

Bai Qi hurriedly said, "If you don't need it, you don't need it," he stuffed the money back into the old man's hand, "At this time, tea can be worth a few dollars, you can collect the money and spend it on the things that should be spent." ”

The old man thought for a while, put the money away, and said, "Boss Bai, our family is ready to move out of the main city, do you have any plans?" ”

Bai Qidao: "I, I've been opening this teahouse for so many years, and I don't want to move anymore." ”

"Hey, it's not me saying, Boss Bai, why can't you figure it out, now there are fewer and fewer people who have money to drink tea, I'm afraid your teahouse won't be able to hold it in the future, it's better to find a good place to settle down quickly."

"Huh...... I'll be content if I can eat a full meal, let alone me, where are you going to move? ”

"Probably going to Xicheng, although the environment is a little worse, but it's better than this, no need to remind you."

The old man's companion continued: "My family plans to go north, through the desert continent, to Qinghe Town. ”

Qinghe Town, next to Fan Jingtian's supernumerary camp, was built this year, protected by the supernumerary camp, isolated from the war, and a place that could be stable for a while.

Bai Qi's hand to collect the teacup paused, and said, "Recently, I heard a lot of people say that they want to go there. ”

The old man said: "If General Fan is in the court, he may be able to speak for the people, alas...... It's a pity that the first emperor was so ...... to the Shen family"

The person next to him hurriedly said, "Be quiet." ”

The old man shook his head and looked at him, "My old life is like this, it's better to end it early." ”

"Lao Zhang, don't think about it, grit your teeth." Someone patted him on the shoulder.

Someone suddenly said: "You say, what will happen to the other princes of the first emperor when they become emperors?" ”

When several other people heard this, they looked around vigilantly, pulled Bai Qi to lower their heads, and whispered, "Why do you say this!" ”

"At the beginning, it was said that the second prince was talented and a good candidate to be the emperor, but now that I think about it, the missing fourth prince and the fifth prince may be better than him!"

Bai Qi raised his eyebrows and said, "Why?" ”

"Not to mention the well-known fourth prince, you see that although the fifth prince is silent, he has never reported a great evil, and the treason he said before was automatically overturned when the Qing Ming Kingdom entered the city, and the current emperor not only did not rehabilitate him, let alone look for him, what does this mean? The two of them don't have a good relationship! Maybe it was because the five princes had a transparent heart and saw clearly what the current emperor was, so they didn't get close to him. ”

Bai Qi nodded and said slowly: "What you say seems to make sense. ”

The man continued: "It is estimated that the six princesses in this palace are also problematic! ”

"Why did you suddenly mention the Sixth Princess?" Bai Qi and the others showed puzzled expressions.

The man lowered his voice: "I am dissatisfied with everyone, my nephew is a guard in the palace, and on the day of the death of the old lady Shen, he was also present, saying that there were two young people beside her, a man and a woman, and it seemed that the relationship with the old lady Shen was not ordinary." ”

"What do you mean...... Those two are the fifth prince and the sixth princess? ”

"It's hard to say...... You see, Mrs. Shen is the grandmother of the sixth princess, the old man died so tragically, but she never showed up, why is this? ”

"Speaking of which," Bai Qi touched his nose and interrupted the topic by talking about another thing, "What about the young people who often came with you before?" ”

"That kid, he joined the army a few months ago, he is good and strong, he was pushed to the front at once, I don't know if he is dead or alive, his wife goes to the city gate every day to wait for news."

"That's it......" Bai Qi sighed, "It's a pity." ”

"Hey......" The old men shrugged their shoulders and gradually became speechless, and left the teahouse after a while.

Bai Qi saw that the pedestrians nearby were in a hurry, so he lost the mood to open the door, and waved his hand to let the guy close the door. When he returned to the inkstone, his expression was suddenly serious, and then he raised his hand and wrote quickly on the paper, and after stopping the pen, he repeatedly examined what he had written, and after confirming that there was no problem, he rolled it into a slip of paper and stuffed it into a bamboo pen and tied it at the pigeon's feet.

The pigeon flapped its wings, acting like a fish jumping out, and after Bai Qi let go, he flew in the air and gradually disappeared. It crosses the streets of the main city that are not as prosperous as before, the mountains and forests where the vegetation is sparse, and the refugee areas where many people gather and few people who are separated...... Flying farther and farther, until it reached the realm of the northern city, its wings were almost stiff, and its gray body fluttered through the desert, it flew lower and lower, and was about to fall to the ground, and a pair of pale hands caught it.

The owner of the hand gently stroked it and said softly: "Fu'er, it's hard work." ”

The pigeon shook its head weakly and rubbed it a few times.

Zhao Heqing took off the bamboo tube, and then handed it to the person next to him, "Take good care of it." ”

The letter is about the recent situation of Jiang Zhuguo, but the daily drama is the same as the content of the previous letters.

Zhao Heqing tore the letter and let it go from his hand, letting it drift away with the wind, his eyes concentrating on the front of him slightly. A person appeared in his sight, and the slender figure stopped in place for a moment, and then walked to his side, "Brother." ”

He smiled, raised his hand and brushed the other party's hair, "Don't you practice bows and arrows?" ”

Zhao Heqiao shook her head and took the initiative to take Zhao Heqing's arm, she has changed a lot in more than a year, her original Qingcang's complexion is now a plump crescent white, although her body is still thin but much stronger, and her height has also grown, she helped Zhao Heqing to walk around, and there was no sense of disobedience at all.

Zhao Heqing is now like Zhao Heqiao at the beginning, he has become a sick seedling, all of which are the sequelae left by the disaster of prison, not only can he not use force, but even his actions are weak, and he walks lightly, like a weak scholar. He still has scars on his body that can't be erased, the most obvious on his face, although Fan Jingtian found a lot of medicine, the crimson and white mark just can't be removed.

The children playing on the streets of Qinghe Town saw him and laughed as usual: "Ugly! ”

Zhao Heqiao frowned, and was about to step forward, when someone walked to the children one step ahead of her, howled, and scared the children away.

"Handsome." Zhao Heqiao knew who it was by this back.

Xiao Shuai turned his head with a smile, took off the ghost mask on his face, walked to Zhao Heqing's other side, and said, "Brother Qing, Sister Qiao." ”

Zhao Heqing nodded and said, "What did you find in Beicheng?" ”

"Don't mention it," Xiao Shuai hung his head, "I finally found a family member of the Shen family's villa, he said that Grandpa Shen disappeared before the officers and soldiers led people to seal it up." ”

"What about Ye Ling?"

Xiao Shuai shook his head and said, "Sister Ye Ling took someone to look for him, and there was no news later." ”

Zhao Heqiao looked at Zhao Heqing: "Brother, where will grandpa go, there is no news from other places." ”

Zhao Heqing took her hand, "And Uncle Fan, let's wait." ”

“…… Kindness. ”

Xiao Shuai saw that the two of them were immersed in a worried mood and didn't know what to say, so he looked to the side boredly, and caught a glimpse of the figure in the distance, and then his eyes lit up, "Sister Qiao, it seems that they are back." ”

Zhao Heqing and Zhao Heqiao hurriedly looked over, and really saw the team led by Fan Jingtian slowly approaching.

Fan Jingtian also saw them, immediately jumped out of the carriage, walked in front of the two brothers and sisters, and said, "Why are you here?" ”

Zhao Heqing said: "Count the days, Bai Qi wants to send the news over, so I'll come over." ”

Fan Jingtian's face sank, "Just receive the letter and let them come." ”

"Uncle Fan," Zhao Heqiao took the initiative to get next to him and said with a smile: "My brother is suffocated every day when he stays in the house, and he just comes out for a walk." ”

"Hey, you guys......"

Zhao Heqiao looked at the team of Fan Jingtian's entourage, his gaze was withdrawn, and there was expectation in his eyes, "Uncle Fan......"

Before she finished speaking, she was hugged by Fan Jingtian, her back was tapped a few times, and Fan Jingtian's faint voice came from her ears, "Let's go back to the camp and say." ”

She turned her head and made eye contact with Zhao Heqing for a moment, and then said, "En." ”

When Fan Jingtian and them returned to the camp, they immediately summoned Xie Jian's group and the trusted generals in the camp, gathered in a spacious tent, and solemnly said under the silent gaze of everyone: "I want to tell you two things. ”

He deliberately looked at Zhao Heqing and Zhao Heqiao, "The first thing, the Shen family's Taifu has passed away. ”

Zhao Heqiao staggered, and then leaned on Zhao Heqing, the other people's faces were shocked, regretful and lamented, only to see Fan Jingtian ask someone to hand over a box at a moment, he took it gently, and then held it in front of the two brothers and sisters, and said, "This is his ashes." ”

Zhao Heqiao looked at the box blankly and did not speak.

"How did Grandpa die?" Zhao Heqing hugged the box tightly.

"We found the Wind Spirit in a nunnery, and her name is Jing'an."

“…… What did she say? ”

"At that time, your grandfather's consciousness became more and more confused, to the extent that it was difficult to control with medicine, and suddenly one day he ran away and disappeared, Ye Ling followed the trail for a long time, and finally found him by a river, at that time he had not eaten for a few days, and he collapsed and died before Ye Ling took him to see the doctor. After that, Ye Ling felt very guilty, and it happened that the Shen family was withering, so she took his ashes to the nunnery to become a monk, and recited the scriptures every day......"

Zhao Heqiao sighed, "She's so stupid, it's not her fault......"

Zhao Heqing adjusted his posture, holding the box in one hand and pressing Zhao Heqiao's head on his shoulder with the other.

Fan Jingtian continued: "Ye Ling also said that his old man said a word before he died, 'River', it should be talking to you. ”

Zhao Heqiao blinked her reddened eyes, didn't hold back her tears, and soaked Zhao Heqing's clothes with a bang.

Fan Jingtian looked at her and hesitated to continue.

Zhao Heqing said: "Uncle Fan, what's the second thing?" ”

"Second thing......" Fan Jingtian turned his head, deliberately avoided Zhao Heqiao's eyes, and looked at the others: "I met Lan Zijun on the way." ”

Few of the people present knew Lan Zijun, and they couldn't help but wonder when they heard this name.

Xiao Shuai reacted immediately, "Sister Lan, how is she now, why don't you bring her back, is Brother Wei also there?" ”

Fan Jingtian shook his head, "She was with her senior brother when I met her. ”

"Senior brother?" Even Zhao Heqing and Zhao Heqiao were strange, they had never heard of this kind of thing at all, and then they thought about it, they did not have a deep relationship with Lan Zijun, how could they know many things about her.

"Who is Sister Lan's senior brother?" Xiao Shuai frowned and asked.

"He was standing far away and didn't pay much attention."

"So, what does Miss Lan have to do with the second thing you said?" Zhao Heqing grasped the point.

Fan Jingtian's eyes flickered, and he walked up to Xie Jian's brothers by the shoulders of Xiao Shuai, "The second thing is exactly what Lan Zijun told me, she said that the son of the Zheng family is dead. ”

"The son of the Zheng family?" Xie Jian read this sentence word by word.

Han Feiyan held her stomach close to him and whispered, "Qi Fei......"

The other brothers had already understood what Fan Jingtian meant, and their faces were uncontrollably sad.

The son of the Zheng family, the only one who has something to do with them is Zheng Zexin.

He's dead...... Their boss is dead. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support, is my biggest motivation. For mobile phone users, please read it on m.qidian.com. )
