The slightest mistake is a thousand miles.

Xiao Hong sat on the edge of a pillar outside the main hall of Wuying Palace, seemingly sitting on the ground and closing his eyes for a break, but in fact, his mind was surging to review the various defeats after Jiangnan hesitated and missed the fighter plane on this trip.

The door opened and closed, and Wei Yuanrang, who came out of it with his head down, walked up to Xiao Hong's side, and shook his head regretfully at the inquiring eyes that were open to him.

Xiao Hong had already convicted several families before, and Xiao Tan, the coach of the Southern Expedition who came day and night, gave his younger brother face. However, for the Gao family, Xiao Tan pointed out that Xiao Hong's behavior in Jianyang was because of the marital dispute with the Gao family back then, and the communiqué was a personal vendetta.

Xiao Hong was so angry that he threw the door and ran out!

And Wei Yuanrang's persuasion to stay with Xiao was also defeated. Compared with Mr. Wei, who forgets his identity as a scholar when he is practical, Xiao Tan has a genuine morale.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince mentioned the temperament of the King of Chu to the old man before he set out on the expedition, and also said that maybe King Yan will regret that he did not fight for the position of commander when he arrives." , Putting aside the frustration of being unfavorable for the time being, Mr. Wei immediately thought of his Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who was wise and martial, and expected the matter first.

Contend? Xiao Hong looked down at his long intertwined fingers and smiled faintly.

Or perhaps, when he was simply the youngest son of the family, he only thought about how to win to win beautifully. And from the beginning of questioning where he came from, if he wants to escape and dare not dare to fight, he will inevitably suffer the frustration of having more than enough strength to do so.

"The King of Chu is very concerned about the whereabouts of the jade seal! has already ordered Zhang Bang to go out on the street, clearly indicating that the seal is innocent and meritorious. ”。 Wei Yuanrang calmly reported the course of the situation, trying his best to hide his regret. According to the consensus he reached with Xiao Hong before, he wanted to suppress a few more old ministers of the Southern Dynasty by looking for the jade seal.

"In this way, Gao Wei will appear soon!" , without any justification. Xiao Hong felt that the jade seal he was looking for was in Gao Wei's hands, and that person would not have the hermit feeling of returning to the mountains and forests with the jade seal.

Wei Yuanrang nodded silently, and after a while, he asked again: "His Royal Highness King Yan doesn't seem to care at all if he will find the jade seal?" ”

"Yes! I thought that even if I couldn't find it in the end, I would re-engrave a new piece and hand it in! Xiao Hong said with a smile: "Of course, the first choice is to kill people and rob treasures!" ”。 If you can have a few more days to preside over the search for the seal. He will not give anyone a chance to get lucky, but will eat black directly from the source.

"Carved fake?" , Wei Yuanrang couldn't help but laugh dumbly, looked at the young and handsome face in front of him and asked softly: "Aren't you afraid that the world will laugh at the Xiao family for going to be the whiteboard emperor?" ”

Xiao Hong thought about it quietly, shook his head and said, "Chen Youxi, but the people's lives have become a blank slate, won't they also lose the country?" In the past dynasties, without the jade seal that has been inherited for thousands of years, it will be laughed at as if it is the same as a tabula rasa, but those who worked hard to get that stone could not really be ordered by the sky. That is, Shou Yongchang. Instead of painstakingly searching for that false name, it is better to do something affordable. ”

The person who had been silent for a long time was replaced by Wei Yuanrang, and the few beards in his hands were almost cut off. He suddenly remembered a few things that the crown prince Xiao Ze had specially explained when he left Beijing with the army, turned sideways, and looked at Xiao Hong carefully.

Xiao Hong raised his eyebrows suspiciously.

"The minister suddenly felt that His Royal Highness King Yan was very similar to the crown prince."

"Like?"

Wei Yuanrang nodded very affirmatively and said, "Appearance, speech and demeanor...... It's all very similar. In particular, the actions and ideas that are more in line with the old gentleman's taste.

"Thank you!". Xiao Hong grinned, showing a mouthful of white teeth. Heartfelt joy with a hint of sourness.

Plant the sycamore tree and attract the phoenix.

It was only two days after the announcement of the list of looking for the seal, and Gao Wei, who was holding the jade seal, conformed to the good day of the Jingjun commander Xiao Tan's military parade in the city, and made a gorgeous appearance in front of everyone.

kneeling down to offer the seal, when he was supported by Xiao Tan for half a day, Gao Weifei's eyebrows and the corners of his eyes moved lightly towards Xiao Hong, who had a cold face behind him. Unbridled with the pride of "what can you do with me".

Yu Gong was about to obey the commander's military order, Yu Zhi couldn't tear his face and make trouble with his second brother, Xiao Hong, who really had nothing to do with Gao Wei, only glanced at the tightly wrapped jade seal and raised his head higher.

Chess is one move. If you lose, you have to admit it. It is useless to keep regretting the mistakes that can no longer be turned back, Xiao Hong only joined Wei Yuanrang and others before the second brother Xiao Tan Aicai's heart of protection, turned the Gao family father and son against each other, and Gao Wei was kicked out of the family, and did not give the Gao family father and son any chance to release their previous suspicions and reconcile as before.

Everything that can be done has been done, and what are the consequences of what can be achieved, Xiao Hong will ignore it anymore. More of his mind was occupied by the newfound letters.

Song Xiping, who was the first to smash the head of Concubine Zhang, did not find a major mistake in the initial raid, but his former colleagues mentioned in the subsequent report and exposure that he had found that he had received the woman in the palace to his home.

Suspected of hiding Concubine Zhang!

At first, Xiao Hong and the others were only regarded as Nanchen officials who were very good at catering to the hints of climbing dirt and almost missed it, and when they raided the house, the backyard of the Song family quarreled and messed up, but they really found out a big-bellied pregnant woman who was born in the palace and fostered in the Song family.

Concubine Zhang in Hanshu Palace attaches great importance to the mysterious man who even does not hesitate to pull out the palace maid to serve and conceive a baby, and there is a waiter with an old man with a chicken blood rattan cane in the middle of the strange behavior, the infant corpse buried in the palace courtyard, and the palace supervisor who has inadvertently witnessed the festival fragments...... All kinds of confessions are mixed together, absurd and confused.

Xiao Hong was the only one in the Jing Dynasty army who guessed some cause and effect.

He had seen Man Yun's Life Gu Yinzi, and he had also heard Man Yun talk about the experience of introducing Star Gu in the first place, so the patchwork of several things naturally made him think of that man's identity.

Zhou Manyun's birth date was in early February, and Xiao Hong originally planned to find an opportunity to sacrifice prisoners after Jianyang City was broken to invite Ying back to Beijing. Even he greeted Emperor Jing and his brothers, counting the current time, if he wants to return, he can still accompany his wife who is about to give birth for a while.

Xiao Hong, who had locked himself alone in the hut and was silent for a while, walked out of the door and asked for the latest testimony that reminded the mysterious people of the direction of escape, and decided to lead a small team of men and horses to follow and pursue.

Zhou Manyun regarded Xu Yu as his own brother, if he found the trace but ignored it, even if he guarded Manyun, he would not be at ease. What's more, Xiao Tan, who later came to Jianyang, once received Emperor Jing's urgent request to find Xu Ne in Jiangnan. The other brothers didn't know Xiao Rui's purpose for looking for Xu Ne, but Xiao Hong, who knew that Xiao Ze had Gu on his body, was faintly worried that his brother's condition had changed. Following Xu Yu's clues, maybe he can find Xu Ne who is also looking for him quickly.

Xiao Hong wrote several long letters to Luo Jing. Simply packed up and left Jianyang City.

As soon as Xiao Hong left on the front foot, Xiao Tan, the commander of the Jingjun on the back foot, breathed a sigh of relief and handed over the errand responsible for sending the prisoners back to Beijing to Xiao Long. Among the team that was about to enter Beijing, many of the old ministers of Nan Chen were relieved in unison. They no longer have to worry about whether His Royal Highness King Yan, who said that he would definitely send people back to Beijing, would be angry and secretly hurt people halfway.

Wei Yuanrang took a turn in the prisoner camp, and deliberately looked at the Gao family father and son who were far apart, and then wrote a secret fold and sent it to Luojing before the team went north.

As Emperor Jing's trusted old minister and the subordinate palace of the East Palace, he already has the right to play independently of Xiao Tan. Some things that were interrupted by the coach in Jianyang. He poked it up and went on......

On November 16, Luojing City ushered in the first snow of the first year of Xiyuan.

The snow was not heavy, like a soft fine salt that was scattered into the soil, and disappeared in an instant, only making the weather much colder.

"I know that men are unreliable, and they have always been good-sounding!" , In the main room of Jianing Hall in King Yan's Mansion, Man Yun muttered while tightening the red fox cloak on his body. The red skin is even more snowy.

No matter how expensive the frost charcoal is, it will smoke people, and the little lady who feels sorry for the baby in her belly did not let the brazier be lit in the house.

At this moment, she picked up the letter on the desk and looked around in a daze, revealing some embarrassment that she didn't know what to do.

"Help me take it out and burn it!" , just caught the flowing water and entered the door, Man Yun simply handed the letter of apology written by Xiao Hong forward.

Flowing water took the letter, answered obediently, lifted the curtain and walked out again.

"Princess!". Xiao Man glanced at Man Yun in disgust, but was quickly frightened by her action of reaching out to cross her legs to go to the bed. Hurriedly sat down at the end of the couch.

Xiao Hong came back with the letter, and he didn't even seal his mouth very casually, and he was not afraid of being seen, and those vague hints would be understood if anyone with a discerning eye saw them. Before the letter arrived at the Yan Wangfu, who knew if it had already been copied and more or less added to the purpose, Man Yun also felt that it didn't matter.

I don't know if Xiao Hong can find Xu Yu? Just think that those mysterious gray-clothed people who may be from Nanzhao are playing with poison. Zhou Manyun couldn't wait to unload his stomach and go straight to the south to help.

But it will take time for the melons to ripen, and she can't do anything about it. Coincidentally, the delivery period in early February also made Man Yun a little worried......

After a while, Flowing Water, who seemed to have completed the task of destroying the letter, sat back beside Man Yun and pursed his pale red lips quietly.

"Tell me what's happening!" Man Yun was bored with his usual demands.

The ladylike flowing water owes a debt, and the answer is yes, and the prosaic narrative begins.

Every time I don't mention it, I don't talk about it, and it's very fun.

Man Yun couldn't help but wonder in his heart, compared to Xiaoqiao, who danced no matter what he said, the dull flowing water was actually not suitable for the role of small talk. It's just because Man Yun knows that the surface of the flowing water is cold and he actually likes to come into contact with people from the East Palace, so he handed over this job to her.

Compared with Xiao Wan, who is isolated from the Taoist sect and the edge of the world, and Yun Jinfan's secret whistle that is still limited to the market, the news from the East Palace has become the main source of Man Yun's collection of government information.

"The young emperor and his ministers from Nanchen are now stopped in Xinshun County, east of the capital, because November 26 is long live Shengshou, so the court and the central government suggested that they wait until the auspicious time to enter Beijing. However, the titles and titles of the surrendered monarchs and ministers have been sorted out by the Ministry of Rites. ”

The flat straight talk of the flowing water without turning paused, frowned, and then said softly: "Among them, the former Nanchen Xiangfu Gao family is the most eye-catching, a double marquis, his father Gao Gong intends to be named the Marquis of Jinrong, and his son Gao Wei's title is the Marquis of Jinxiang, and the rank is the same. ”

The matter about the Gao family was specially explained by the East Palace to the princess, and the flow of water was unknown, but he still completed the task seriously.

A double marquis?! It's the same as in the previous life! Man Yun's hand on his lower abdomen clenched into a fist and squeezed it fiercely, and he was more timid than he had been afraid to flee when he heard it in his previous memory, and asked more, "Why?" ”

Things that I haven't thought about before look weird from today's eyes. It is said that the eldest son, Gao Gong, who has died, actually shared the title with the only surviving second son, which is extremely unreasonable in terms of inheritance.

"I heard that it was good to have just a knighthood for the Gao family. However, there are several twists and turns in succession, all pointing directly to Gao Gong when he was in the south, and he disobeyed him and expelled him from the clan. It is estimated that when the old man gave up his son, he didn't expect that he would come out with the jade seal again to surrender. East...... It was also said that one of the excerpts suggested to be divided into lords was made by our prince himself. ”

Zhou Manyun was stunned, and after a long while, he reached out and covered the corners of his mouth that couldn't help but put on a wicked smile.

cooperated with the major event of leaving the clan to genealogy, and the glory of a double marquis was a burden for the Gao family to both slap the face and kill. didn't want his life, but took his name first, and the Gao family, who has always attached importance to maintaining the surface light, is really hard to say.

Two virtual lords with the same position, everyone in the world knows the reputation of father and son, and the career of the Gao family father and son is actually over. (To be continued......)
