The man led by the Crane Army was slim and clearly a woman.

When she heard that Lou Mingyue was the new head of the family, her eyes suddenly softened, "I am the head of the Shenwu Army Tianjia." ”

The head of the capital is an official position, and the position is under the deputy commander, and Tianjia is the number of the middle team of the Crane Control Army.

Lou Mingyue was keenly aware of the change in the other party's attitude, but she did not respond, "I'm sorry, I'm too anxious, if the two of you don't hurry, let's go and sit down for a while." ”

"Okay." Dutou Road.

Lou Mingyue led a few people to the main hall of the village.

After sitting down, she skipped the greetings and said directly, "I think you are also from Knowles, right?" ”

The crane army is headed and jawed.

Lou Xin's face changed slightly, and he said angrily, "Since you have Knowles' blood on your body, why can't you just die!" We broke the news before we went to Mei's for help! If you really want to save each other, how can you not come until now! Isn't it a holy ......?"

"Auntie!" Lou Mingyue interrupted sharply.

Lou Xin has a straight temperament and a short temper, and he is already full of resentment after enduring it for the past few days, and if he vents it, he is afraid that he will not choose to speak.

"At first, we thought it was a plague, so we sent two doctors to come secretly, but the two doctors were intercepted and killed halfway, and the upper authorities ordered to lock down the crane prison and search for the spies. ”

"Even there are spies in the crane control army?" Lou Mingyue said incredulously.

The Crane Control Army can be described as the protective shield of the heart of the Great Song Dynasty, responsible for guarding the most rearmost defense line and the emperor, if even the Crane Control Prison is infiltrated by the enemy, the Great Song Dynasty is in danger.

"According to the rules, I shouldn't have come this time." There are rules in the army that you must not have too much contact with your own family, although this order has been repeatedly violated, but after all, it has not been abolished, and you will say, "It is because of the spies." The Shenwu commander let us back, but it's a pity that ......"

Even if the shadow from the Knowles family has any hatred with the family, it will not destroy their entire clan, and the loyalty of the Knowles woman is obvious to all, and she is the person who can best rule out the suspicion of spies, and it is already the most appropriate disposal to let them come back to support first.

If the Knowles were in trouble and the Crane Army did not send people to support, what would the other families think? Is it the emperor's intention to destroy the Knowles? Even if it is not the divine will behind this matter, it is so actual. Do you wish the four major families disappeared?

Now the trust between the emperor and the four major families is as thin as cicada wings, if he is tricked again this time and provoked, I am afraid that even the superficial maintenance will be broken.

This series of conspiracies is clearly well designed! Who is so scheming, so ruthless?

Lou Mingyue said, "Is there any clue about this secret attack?" ”

"Nope." The crane army is the first to say.

Lou Mingyue was very disappointed, but the control crane army turned around. "But at the moment it seems that there is only one person who is most likely." ”

"Who?" Lou Xin asked.

"The county lord of Huangwu of Liao."

"Huangwu? When did the Liao Kingdom produce a Huangwu county lord? Lou Xiaowu was puzzled.

The Crane Army said, "She was originally Princess Zheng Guo, named Huangwu." It was from the Empress Dowager Xiao. Later, when Empress Dowager Xiao passed away, she was demoted to the county lord and given the title of 'Princess Zheng Guo', and went to guard the spirit of Empress Dowager Xiao......"

This matter is confusing, and even the most well-informed Crane Control Army is difficult to get a glimpse of.

The reason for this. It goes back to the previous generation. Empress Dowager Xiao is a Khitan, a single name, and had a marriage contract with Han Derang before marrying Yeluxian of Liaojingzong.

The Khitan people have the custom of women holding power. After Ye Luxian's death, he handed over the power to the Empress Dowager Xiao.

Han Derang is a general of the Liao State, and the Empress Dowager Xiao bowed his head all day long without looking up, and it was rumored that the two rebuilt the old friendship. This is also okay in Khitan customs, and it is not a shameful thing, but Empress Dowager Xiao did not make this matter public.

What's even more confusing is that two months after Ye Luxian's death, Empress Dowager Xiao was three months pregnant, and most people speculated that she had already been out of the wall, but no one could show evidence.

And after the birth of this child, Empress Dowager Xiao personally gave the name "Huangwu" - Yelu Huangwu.

"Yelu Huangwu is like the Empress Dowager Xiao, and she has the ability to hold power." The more Du Tou thought about it, the more he felt that she was the mastermind behind this time, "She was demoted at the age of fifteen because of the private construction of the army, and the army was called 'Ghost Tiger', and we never got any news of Ghost Tiger after she was demoted." And there are not many people in Liao who can have the strength to recruit so many masters, and she is one of them. ”

"How can the deposed Guardian still have such strength?" Lou Mingyue asked.

"Yes, according to the news from the secret agent, Yelu Huangwu is quite prestigious in the Liao Kingdom." Du Tou explained carefully, "Han Derang has dedicated his life to the Liao State, Gu Xi is still fighting at an advanced age, and now more than half of the generals in the Liao army are his old troops." These old ministries may think that Yelu Huangwu is Han Derang's blood and blood, so they give special care, and it is difficult to say whether they have ambitions or not. ”

"How can there be no ambition." Lou Xiaowu said indignantly, "Huang is the emperor, presumably Empress Dowager Xiao hopes that she is ambitious, maybe she originally planned to put the power in her hands!" ”

Tuk Tuk!

Someone knocked lightly on the door, "Dutou, it's not early." ”

The Crane Control Army said, "But there is still a problem?" ”

"Since there are doubtful people, what does the Crane Army plan?" Lou Xin paused, feeling that his words were a little inaccurate, "Is there a holy oracle?" ”

"The Holy One is anxious to clean up the moles." The Crane Control Army lowered his head and said in a low voice, "The Crane Control Army is in turmoil now, and the Holy Lord is in a hurry to rectify, even if he has the heart to pursue it, he can't make room for it, let alone ......."

What's more, the saint may still want to take the opportunity to get rid of the four major families, but at the moment, it seems that the enemy is strong and I am weak, and he will not really take action.

"Thank you." Lou Mingyue got up, "You go back first." ”

Konghejun got up and quietly looked around the hall, with a hint of inexplicable emotion in his tone, "Family, why thank you." ”

Lou Mingyue's throat choked slightly, and she said in a dumb voice, "It's me who lost my words." ”

The room was instantly filled with a sad atmosphere, Lou Xin couldn't bear it, broke the silence with a voice, and sent the crane army to leave.

Dark clouds cover the moon.

The building fell into a dead silence.

Lou Mingyue stood alone in the courtyard for a long time before moving, stepping on the snow and walking to the front of the meeting hall step by step, but saw a person wrapped in a fire mink coat standing under the corridor.

"Who is it?!" Lou Mingyue Road.

The man turned, revealing a face as white as snow.

Lou Mingyue lowered her guard slightly, "Mei Fourteen." ”

An Jiu nodded slightly.

Lou Mingyue walked to the bottom of the porch and looked up at the words on the plaque, "Are you looking at this?" ”

"Hmm."

"Didn't have Mei?"

"I don't know." An Jiu hadn't turned around the plum blossoms yet, and she didn't know if there was such a plaque in Lu Dao, but listening to Lou Mingyue say this, she suddenly remembered that Hua Rongjian once said that the precept of the crane army is "loyalty and righteousness".

"Loyalty." Lou Mingyue turned her head and asked, "Do you know what it means?" ”

"I don't know." Anjiu replied truthfully.

"The Knowles followed Emperor Taizu wholeheartedly and vowed never to betray." Lou Mingyue sneered, "My Lou family values the word loyalty and righteousness, all the men of my Lou family sacrificed their lives for the country, we did not betray, it was the descendants of Emperor Taizu who abandoned us first." ”

Lou Mingyue's words are like blood, "We guard the country of the Great Song Dynasty for the peace of the people, but they are addicted to power games and betray their faith." ”

An Jiu was slightly stunned.

The heirs of the four major families are withering from generation to generation, not for the fame of the family, not for the glory and wealth, but not only for the original vow. (To be continued......)
