Although she knew that person was Chai Yu, hearing Hongye confirm this, Chen Qiuniang still frowned slightly, because Chai Yu still had to declare war on his unfortunate fate.

"Chai Rong's son?" She asked knowingly, her tone very surprised.

Yes, she asked knowingly, because she really didn't trust anyone other than Zhang Ci, including Jiang Fan, who seemed to be in love like the sea at the moment. Because Jiang Fan belongs to the Jiang family, the Jiang family is one of the nine families.

Chen Qiuniang will not forget the ancestral teachings of the nine families and the so-called mission of the nine families just because Zhang Ci is the patriarch of the nine families.

Originally, the Nine Great Families were the love products of the science and engineering tyrant who accidentally crossed the early Han Dynasty, and those cutting-edge technologies that were ahead of the world were also because the man fell in love with Chen Ajiao's means of love protection.

Originally, the nine families could become a good story of love. However, this large group, which seemed destined to have a deep fate with the traverser, encountered Zhang Ye. This man who is familiar with history, I don't know if he strayed into historical time and space, or if he did it intentionally, in short, he was afraid that the history of the Nine Great Families after the change would disturb the so-called history. He began to pretend to be a ghost, and predicted history to the nine major families in advance, fooling his children and grandchildren with such a thing as the destiny of heaven, and making his children and grandchildren the so-called "chosen ones", so that they could protect the normal occurrence of history.

So, for so many years, the nine great families have been doing this kind of thing, and they are proud of it. They even regard the protection of the destiny of heaven as glory, and they will kill people and people who may disturb the prophecy of their ancestors. For example, Zhang Jia to Jiang Chengzi.

The ancestral teachings of the Nine Great Families are the laws of operation, glory, and their pride as the chosen ones. Therefore, no matter how many people's happiness and lives are sacrificed, they will keep this ancestral teaching.

Therefore, even if Zhang Ci now uses his strong control ability and planning to temporarily control the Nine Great Families in his hands and suppress the old guys of the Elders' Council, how can that group of people give up?

Therefore, Chen Qiuniang will not trust anyone except Zhang Ci. Although this is a bit of a wolf heart for others who care about her, she has to be careful.

"Yes, Chai Rong's son." This time, it was Xunmei who stepped forward and said it quietly but firmly.

"I heard that after Zhou Shizong's son abdicated, his health has been bad, and he and the Queen Mother have been recuperating in Bianjing, how could he go to the north to assassinate the prime minister of Liao in the cold winter of heavy snow?" Chen Qiuniang asked rhetorically.

Xunmei's voice lowered again, and she said, "Girl, Sejong is more than that son. ”

"Oh? I've heard that Sejong has no other heirs. Do you know anything else? I'm still in this plum garden, but it's because my master and your eldest son's second son are old friends, and I and your little son hit it off at first sight and want to help you. Chen Qiuniang said coldly, her expression had sunk, and thin anger floated on her face.

Xunmei, Hongye, and Taxue hurriedly shook their heads together and said that they didn't dare, saying that everything was true, Sister Hongmei personally explained that she wanted to listen to Miss Su.

"That's long story short, let's be honest. Don't you forget that I'm a disciple of the Floating Light Child, if it's the slightest lie, I can't see it? Chen Qiuniang glanced at the three of them, and that glance, her eyes were like blades, so sharp that the three of them involuntarily took a big step back.

The three of them said again and again that they didn't dare. After that, Xunmei took a step forward and whispered: "Miss Su, the Jiang family was originally not in the Northland, nor was it in Cangzhou Mansion, and the reason why some people moved north was to come here to monitor the movements of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun and the secret army of Sejong. ”

Chen Qiuniang frowned, looked at the three of them and asked, "What secret army?" ”

Xunmei lowered her eyebrows and lowered her head, and began to narrate in a voice that seemed to be heard only at close range, saying that the secret army was actually built by Guo Wei to hide his power and protect himself when he was not yet emperor. Later, Guo Wei became the emperor, and the role of this secret army was to serve as the division of King Qin at critical moments. Later, Guo Wei died, Chai Rong succeeded to the throne, and this secret army was reorganized and reformed, but it was still not made public, and the generals in the court did not know the existence of this army. This army lurked in the Northlands, usually in the guise of a hunter farmer, but if it saw the emperor's talisman, it would assemble and rise

This time, here in Chai Rong, this army is still a secret force to protect the emperor's throne. At the same time, Chai Rong adopted a secret way to cultivate an heir, and this heir was raised in Chai Rong's hometown, and was raised in the way of a future emperor.

"You're talking about this future emperor?" Chen Qiuniang asked knowingly again.

Xunmei nodded and said, "Yes." This future emperor, eighteen or thirteen years ago this year, when Sejong went, this child was also hunted down by many parties and finally disappeared. ”

"Since you are missing, how can you be sure that this incident has something to do with it?" Chen Qiuniang asked rhetorically.

Momiji immediately replied, "Miss Su, the Jiang family is in charge of monitoring the movements of this secret army. This secret army was usually near the Cangzhou Mansion, and some of them traveled in the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, and some even became officials of the Liao State. Just over two years ago, a teenager suddenly appeared, and these ordinary armies of hunting, farming, business, and officials suddenly began to assemble secretly, as if planning something big. After nearly a year of exploration, the Jiang family spies finally found out that the young man was the future emperor who disappeared that year, and he appeared with a talisman in his hand. ”

"There was such a paragraph." Chen Qiuniang nodded.

The treading snow, who had been silent, suddenly said, "Why did Miss Su ask this? The day before yesterday, when you were giving advice to Sister Hongmei, you looked like you knew about this Chai Rong's son. ”

Chen Qiuniang's eyes were cold, and she snorted coldly: "I'll just talk about things, for the sake of your Jiang family." It is rumored that it was Chai Rong's son who assassinated Prime Minister Xiao, but I said that whether it is or not, this is an opportunity. I'm just an idle cloud and wild crane, where is your Jiang family's huge intelligence network? ”

Seeing that she was angry, Taxue knelt in the snow and said, "Don't be angry, girl, we all listen to you." ”

"Don't talk nonsense, there are two things you have to do now. The first thing is to deploy, be sure to catch Han Derang; The second thing is to hurry up and meet your son-in-law. Chen Qiuniang said.

The three of them all shook their heads and said, "We really don't know where Gongzi went, he told Sister Hongmei before leaving, and the people in Meiyuan are all under your orders." ”

When Chen Qiuniang heard this, she remembered Jiang Fan's smile when she was leaving, she suddenly had an ominous premonition, but she couldn't say what made her feel so frightened and uncomfortable.

She couldn't help but look up and look at the snowy sky from the winding branches of the plum tree, the sky was slightly blue, and she was a little overwhelmed.

After a while, she decided to go back and watch what happened, so she waved her hand to the three of them and said, "That's it, let's go back." ”

Back in the plum garden, Chen Qiuniang didn't know what to do, so she just leaned against the window in a daze. It wasn't until dinner in the evening that Nian Qiu said that Green Song had been recruited, Zhao Guangyi's den in Cangzhou Mansion had been found, and Meiyuan had already found out one by one, and asked Chen Qiuniang if she wanted to catch all of them.

"Ask me what to do?" Chen Qiuniang looked at Nianqiu in surprise.

Nianqiu bowed his hand and said, "The son has instructed the girl to listen to the girl in all matters in the plum garden." ”

"What the hell is your son-in-law doing?" Chen Qiuniang got up suddenly.

Nian Qiu still knelt on the ground and said unhurriedly: "Gongzi is afraid that the night will be long and dreamy, so he personally entered the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun to find Han Derang. ”

"He asked Han Derang to do something wrong, confused." Chen Qiuniang was in a hurry, and couldn't help but stomp her feet, but she had a faint guess in her heart. If Jiang Fan was ordered by Zhang Ci to protect Chen Qiuniang, then Jiang Fan should be on Zhang Ci's side.

Could it be that it was Zhang Ci's instructions to go to Han Derang? Or did Jiang Fan spy on something from her instructions to Hongmei?

Nianqiu didn't know what Childe's move was. But after getting along with the little boy, it can be seen that the little boy has his own plans, and Miss Su doesn't have to worry. Nian Qiu said.

Chen Qiuniang shook her head and said, "You go down first." ”

"What are those people going to do?" Nian Qiu finally returned to the topic.

"Follow the rules of the Jiang family. I am not a member of the Jiang family, so I can't make decisions for you. Chen Qiuniang said. In fact, she knew that according to the rules of the Jiang family, most of those people were dead, and she really couldn't bear to say the words of destroying these people in person. But she was indeed not the Virgin White Lotus, and it was impossible for her to intercede for those enemies with whom she had no relationship.

When Nianqiu heard this, she said yes again and again, and then disappeared into her courtyard.

Chen Qiuniang threw the chess pieces in her hand into the box one by one, thinking that it was time for her to leave the plum garden and take action.

At night, a hook crescent moon went up to the sky, Chen Qiuniang changed into the outfit of a purple-clothed maid, carried a lantern into the backyard for inspection, and finally disappeared behind a rockery. She left the plum garden very smoothly, found an inn to settle in, and went out of the city as an old woman watching her son in Tianweiming.

Chen Qiuniang went out of the city and went straight to find Liu Qiang. At that time, the sun was just right, but the wind was very cold, and the snow had not yet begun to melt. Chen Qiuniang walked in the suburbs, only to feel that the body was a little cold.

She tightened her clothes, asked a few people, and finally found Liu Qiang's home, with mud walls, wooden shelves, and green tiles. In the courtyard of the firewood, the sound of chickens and dogs rises and falls, and it is so leisurely.

She knocked on the door, and Liu Qiang came out to greet him in person, and said with a smile: "It's snowing heavily, and the leather goods you want are not ready yet." ”

"I want to go to Brother Liu's house to ask for a glass of water to drink." She said.

Liu Qiang let her in, and Chen Qiuniang saw that there was no one in the house, so she said straight to the point: "I want to see Chai Yu." ”

Liu Qiang paused the cup in his hand for a moment, then smiled and said, "I don't know the surname Chai, why do I know Chai Yu again?" Childe is afraid to ask the wrong person? ”

"If you want to shock the world and gain the support of public opinion, you must take the sixteen states of Yanyun." Chen Qiuniang sat by the fire, seemingly talking to herself.

"I don't understand these things. I'm a countryman, and I only know how to farm and hunt. Liu Qiang handed the water to her.

Chen Qiuniang took it and said with a smile: "The hands of the eldest brother are not the hands of farming and hunting. These hands are strong and strong, and there is not the slightest dirt between the fingernails. ”

Liu Qiang laughed and said that she was really good at joking.

She also smiled and said, "If you want to take the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun and deal with the Liao, you must first deal with their Beiyuan King Yelu Xiuge and Beiyuan Privy Envoy Yelu Xuan. Secondly, it is necessary to destroy a person. ”

"Who?" Liu Qiang did not shy away from it, and asked directly.

"Han Derang." At the same time that Chen Qiuniang spit out the name, a long sword suddenly crossed her neck in the horizontal oblique. R1152
