Rao is psychological preparation, Yu Ruoxu couldn't help but be taken aback, "Zhao Gelding?!" “

"Back then, Hou Ye killed Zhao Gelding and his party, but there were always fish that slipped through the net." Yang Yuqing said thoughtfully, "Zhao Gelding once had more than 10,000 people under one person, and it is normal to raise some dead soldiers as secret guards." I heard that they were all children of poor families, and they really had nothing to eat, so they were sent to the backyard of the eunuch's house, and the weaker ones were raised in the palace as prostitutes, and the stronger ones were sent to the dark guards to be dead soldiers. “

Yu Ruoxu remembered that the forty-one white bones dug up in the backyard of Yu's mansion were only seven or eight years old, but they suffered such a tragic disaster.

"What do you mean...... Are there any dead soldiers in Zhao Gelding's secret guard who survived by luck? “

Yang Yuqing nodded, "It should be." That kind of four-like knife technique was used by Zhao Gelding's secret guards back then, and now it is back in the rivers and lakes, presumably someone escaped from the killing of the year, but there is really nowhere to go, so he has to return to his old business and secretly take some assassination work. “

Liang Jin guessed before that the little emperor secretly raised a secret guard without the knowledge of the Marquis of Dingyuan and the Queen Mother...... The more Yu Ruoxu thought about it, the more frightened he became, these secret guards who survived by luck had developed into an assassination organization, and the most terrifying thing was that they were now in collusion with the little emperor, and with the backing of the royal people, their strength should not be underestimated.

Yu Ruoxu didn't know what the little emperor was going to do next, like Yu Zhongjun, she hated the dominance of the Marquis of Dingyuan, and she also hated the ** of the Liang family, but the only thing she was reluctant to do was Liang Jin. Now the little emperor wants to start from Liang Jin, who is far away in Liaodong, I'm afraid it will be ...... It's time to officially attack the Liang family.

"Miss Yu?" Yang Yuqing saw her frowning and silent, and couldn't help but ask, "I don't know who the prince offended before, and he wants to hire such a group of killers to kill him?" When I told him about it, he wouldn't say anything. ”

Yu Ruoxu paused, but still didn't tell her about Liang Jin's speculation, "It's not necessarily that the prince has offended anyone, there are too many people in the world who are not used to the Hou Mansion, and they all want to murder the prince when he is far away from the capital, and the final goal is not Dingyuan Hou?" ”

Yang Yuqing said in a deep voice, "What you say is reasonable...... After this incident, the father persuaded the prince to return to Beijing to avoid the limelight, but the prince refused, saying that it was easy to shake the morale of the army. The father was really helpless, so he had to strengthen the guards of the military mansion, and usually let the prince always follow him, thinking that he could also give Hou Ye an explanation. ”

Yu Ruoxu smiled, Liang Jin is like this, he looks gentle and polite, but he is extremely stubborn in his bones, and he can't pull back the eight horses that he has identified.

"What the prince said is reasonable, the big war is coming, if you join the army and suddenly return to Beijing at this time, it is indeed suspected of shaking the morale of the army." Yu Ruoxu smiled, "It's just that General Yang bothered." ”

A hint of unnaturalness suddenly flashed in Yang Yuqing's eyes, "Father Shuai used to be a student of Lord Hou, and he watched the prince grow up since he was a child, so it is natural to bother." “

Yu Ruoxu glanced at her, "It turns out that Miss Yang and the prince are ...... Childhood? ”

For some reason, Yang Yuqing's face suddenly had a touch of blush, but her expression was still the same, "Sort of, before my father was ordered to guard Liaodong, he was taken care of by the Hou Ye a lot." ”

Yu Ruoxu was stunned, "When did Miss Yang come to Liaodong with the general?" “

"When I was ten years old." Yang Yuqing thought for a while, and her big eyes showed a little sadness, "The Xianbei royal court suddenly made a difficulty, and my father invited himself to go on the expedition, and soon after, he took me and my mother to Liaodong, and never went back. “

Yu Ruoxu remembered that Yu Zhongjun had said that Yang Zhen was originally a protégé of the Marquis of Dingyuan, and later the two parted ways due to political disagreements, I am afraid that Yang Zhen took the opportunity of that expedition to Xianbei to stay away from the control of the Marquis of Dingyuan, and came to Liaodong to hide quietly.

But both sides of the war were defeated, and the imperial court was even more vigorous, and later there was no financial strength to compete with Xianbei again, so in desperation, he had no choice but to send Princess Jiangcheng and his relatives in exchange for two years of peace on the border.

"It's a coincidence today, but I didn't expect Miss Yang to come too." Liang Jin's voice came, and Yu Ruoxu noticed that Yang Yuqing instantly became nervous, quickly stood up and wiped her hair, and reached out to smooth the wrinkles at the corners of her clothes, and couldn't help but laugh a little.

"Lord Shizi." Yang Yuqing bowed to Liang Jin and said, "I'll take a look at Miss Yu to see if she's better." ”

Liang Jin walked into the house, handed the big coat to the iron lady who was waiting on the side as usual, and then walked to the stove and warmed her hands, "Miss Yang, you're welcome, sit down." “

Tie Niang had already made a cup of tea for Liang Jin, but Liang Jin didn't have time to drink it, just looked at Yu Ruoxu and said with a smile, "I look much better today, and the doctor's medicine is indeed useful." ”

Yu Ruoxu followed him and said, "Yes, the wound is also starting to scab over." I can finally eat with chopsticks. “

"You'd better be careful, don't break the wound open." Liang Jin instructed carefully.

Yu Ruoxu noticed Yang Yuqing's flickering expression, and hurriedly changed the topic, "I just heard that the prince and Miss Yang are childhood sweethearts. “

Liang Jin was stunned and smiled, "Yes." General Yang was his father's protégé, and we used to play together when we were young. ”

"Wherever you are playing together, you and Zhou Gongzi are together, ignoring me completely." Yang Yuqing pursed her lips slightly, and her tone was also complaining, which was very different from her previous neat and atmospheric appearance.

Liang Jin was a little incredulous, "Really? I don't even remember. “

Yang Yuqing smiled at the corner of her mouth, "You don't remember, but I still remember." At that time, you went to ride a horse, and I asked you to take me with you, but you and Zhou Gongzi thought that I was not good at riding, so we left me alone at the gate of the Hou Mansion, and caused me to stand there and wait for sunset. “

Liang Jin suddenly realized, hurriedly bowed, and said apologetically, "It turns out that there is such a thing, I am here to apologize to Miss Yang, and please don't mind Miss Yang." “

Yu Ruoxu couldn't understand Liang Jin, he had obviously teased her three times and twice before, why did he look polite in front of Yang Yuqing again?

"It's all a joke, why did the prince take it seriously?" Yang Yuqing was also a little embarrassed, and hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Where is my qi so small?" It's all when I was a kid, so I don't mind. “

The two talked about some things when they were young, Liang Jin seemed to have forgotten a lot of past events, and some details were only vague memories, and in the end they couldn't speak, so they could only echo it. But Yang Yuqing seems to remember everything, one by one, and even what kind of clothes Liang Jin liked to wear when he was a child.

After Yang Yuqing left, Yu Ruoxu glanced at Liang Jin, "Miss Yang is very affectionate to you. ”

Liang Jin frowned, "It's all a friendship between two little people, where is the deep meaning?" ”

Yu Ruoxu was stunned, "You will pretend to be confused." ”

Liang Jin sighed and looked at her faintly, "She doesn't understand, but you still don't understand?" ”

Yu Ruoxu looked at his eyes, the pitch-black pupils were like a deep pool, which contained thousands of feelings, and it seemed to be indissolvable, and his heart jumped for a moment, "I...... I know that. “

Liang Jin poured her a glass of warm water, "I am now guarding Liaodong with General Yang, and I can't ignore her face, and besides, she hasn't done anything now...... When the war is over, I'll make it clear to her. “

"This kind of thing can't be delayed." Yu Ruoxu said leisurely, "It's also for her good." ”

When Liang Jin heard this, he fell into thought for a while. Yu Ruoxu looked up at him, only to see that he frowned slightly, a pair of good-looking eyes dyed with worry, and his right hand subconsciously stroked his chin, looking worried. She thought for a moment and suddenly said, "General Yang...... What do you think of Hou Ye's request to abolish the imperial examination? ”

Liang Jin glanced up at her and smiled, "Sure enough, I can't hide anything from you." “

The Marquis of Dingyuan was willing to let him come to Liaodong, so he naturally had other plans.

"My father asked me to test General Yang's attitude." Liang Jin said, "You can rest assured, General Yang still adheres to the consistent principle, and does not support or oppose his father's decision." “

Yu Ruoxu was a little stunned, "But you...... What do you think? ”

"Me?" Liang Jin's voice was a little condensed, "The imperial examination is the foundation of the country, if the imperial examination is abolished and filial piety is re-emphasized, I am afraid that the imperial court will face a precarious situation." There are no eggs under the nest, and our Liang family will not end well at that time. Isn't this assassination a warning? ”

Yu Ruoxu felt a little nostalgic in her heart, "I didn't expect you to think like this." ”

After all, I didn't misunderstand him.

Liang Jin stood up and looked out the window, looking a little confused, "I have always been trapped in my own identity, and my father taught me since I was a child that the interests of the Liang family should be the most important. But my father didn't understand that the fate of the Liang family was closely related to the situation in the imperial court, and no matter how powerful the Hou Mansion was, it could not be above the country. ”

"Guozuo?" Yu Ruoxu asked, "What do you think, what is Guozuo?" “

Liang Jin thought about it, shook his head with a wry smile, "This question is too difficult, I'm afraid it will take me a lifetime to think about it...... However, judging from the current situation, the country is stable and the people are happy, which is the most important national honor. ”

"The prince is really a man who has the world in mind." Yu Ruoxu's eyes flickered, "There are some problems that are more thorough than the Hou Ye, the Queen Mother and the Emperor." “

Liang Jin smiled, "You are also exalting me too much." ”

Yu Ruoxu shook his head, "In the court, there are not many people who can care about the people like you...... In the future, don't forget your original intention. ”

Liang Jin saw her looking at him steadily, her heart moved, and she nodded, "Okay." ”

For some reason, Yu Ruoxu suddenly stretched out her hand, her white little finger was bent into a beautiful arc, and her crystal nails were still shining with clear light, "There is no basis for what you say, you have to pull the hook." ”

Liang Jin had never seen her so childish, and was a little stunned for a while, "What? ”

Yu Ruoxu shook his hand and said in a long voice, "Come on, pull the hook." ”

Liang Jin had no choice but to walk over and hook her with his little finger, "This counts, right?" ”

"A hundred years, no change." Yu Ruoxu smiled, "Don't forget what you promised me." ”

"When did I forget what I promised you?"

Liang Jin has seen the forbearant and intelligent Yu Ruoxu, the sad Yu Ruoxu, and even seen her rare fragile tears, but it is the first time I have seen her coquettish appearance like this. He suddenly remembered that she was not yet seventeen years old.

He couldn't help but wonder, when she was in Langzhong and Hechuan Academy, did she also have such a delicate and touching time?

It's just that...... With the death of Yue Zirong, all the qiē disappeared.
