"I heard of a general Murong, I heard from Sister Shiling, the daughter of Prime Minister Zhou. That General Murong was one of the generals of the Jing Division. "Because the soldiers of the forbidden army led by General Murong were stationed south of the Jiayou Palace where the emperor lived most of the time, they were also called the Southern Army.

General Murong is the supreme commander of the Southern Army.

Madam Murong smiled slightly and said, "The General Murong you heard about is your Uncle Murong's biological eldest brother. The maternal grandfather who was in His Royal Highness the Ten Princes back then...... After his death, many of his military attachés had to be disarmed and returned to the field, unwilling to serve the father of the Ten Emperors anymore. ”

"But at those times, your Uncle Murong's eldest brother stood up and persuaded their seniors not to leave." When Madam Murong said this, there was a hint of helplessness in her eyes, and she asked, "Do you know why he risked being spurned by others to persuade the other military attaches to stay in the imperial city?" ”

"Because they are all soldiers of the Ji family, they were all brought out by the grandfather of His Royal Highness the Ten Princes. If they are all gone, who else will be in that imperial city,

Protecting the young Ten Princes? ”

Bai Jiaojiao told Mrs. Murong what she thought in her heart.

"That's right" Mrs. Murong choked up and said: "There is a secret, maybe the daughter of the Prime Minister knows, but I don't know, did she tell you?" ”

"Early tomorrow morning, I will also follow your Uncle Murong to the Imperial City. After tonight, I can't say if we can see each other in the future. While we can still sit together and drink tea and talk about ourselves, I will tell you a secret. ”

"Okay, Aunt Murong, I will definitely keep it secret for you." Bai Jiaojiao promised.

Mrs. Murong's eyes showed a hint of relief, this white girl had really thought about it. If she didn't trust her, she wouldn't tell her.

"Your Uncle Murong's eldest brother, that is, the Murong general who guarded the imperial city, his name is Murong Chi. When he was very young, he took your Uncle Murong to the Ji family to learn martial arts from the county lord's eldest uncle, who is the maternal grandfather of His Royal Highness the Ten Princes......"

After the two brothers of Murong Chi went to the Ji family, they all behaved very well and were appreciated by Uncle Ji.

No matter where Uncle Ji goes, he will take Murong Chi and his two brothers with him.

When the two brothers were only in their teens, they followed Uncle Ji and other soldiers of the Ji family army to fight in the north and south, and made a lot of contributions.

"Your Uncle Murong's eldest brother's greatest wish in this life is to protect his favorite little sister from afar, that is, his master's only daughter, Ji Xun, and have a good life. Ji Yan is the biological mother of His Royal Highness the Ten Princes, that is, the late queen of the emperor. ”

Hearing this, Bai Jiaojiao's eyes showed an unconcealed consternation.

Ji Yan had a marriage contract with the crown prince at that time, which was something that almost everyone in the world knew. Although Murong Chi is far away in the land of Nansheng, he is Ji Yan's father's apprentice after all, so he can't have never heard of that incident, right?

No matter how bold Murong Chi is, he can't think about protecting the future crown princess.

If the emperor saw Murong Chi's thoughts, he still had to kill him?

Mrs. Murong saw Bai Jiaojiao like this, and faintly saw her thoughts, and said: "Your Uncle Murong's eldest brother knows that Ji Jiao has a marriage contract with a prince, and he wants to be the future crown princess and the future queen. But he has known Ji Yan since he was a child, and when Ji Yan was playing the kite in the private room, he and your Uncle Murong competed in the backyard. ”

He listened to the music played by Ji Yan for many years. Even if he knew that Ji Yan would become someone else's wife, he still wanted to protect her and hope that she would be well. ”

"Suddenly, one day, Uncle Ji told them that he was going to hold a banquet in Ji's mansion to entertain guests, because he was going to marry his daughter."

Ji Yan cried and said, she doesn't want it!"

When Bai Jiaojiao heard this, she hurriedly asked Mrs. Murong: "What do you mean, do you mean that the queen mother didn't want to marry into the palace as a princess when she was not married?" ”

"Exactly." A trace of disdain flashed in Mrs. Murong's eyes, and she said, "What I want to tell you next, Prime Minister Zhou's daughter, must still not have told you." When the emperor was young, he knew that he and Ji Yan had a marriage contract, but he had two women living in his heart and wanted to marry both of them. ”

Bai Jiaojiao said truthfully: "Sister Shiling really didn't tell me about what you said, but Princess Jingbei mentioned it to me. …… She said that after the emperor asked the county lord and Hua Yue'er, he got the same answer, and they were unwilling to give him a side concubine. In desperation, he had no choice but to say no more. ”

"I won't say it anymore, but he still remembers that people are there." Mrs. Murong looked resentful and said, "That unsympathetic person, after being rejected by the Lingyan County Lord, also threatened the Lingyan County Lord. said that in the future, the rivers and mountains of the Dajing Dynasty will be his, and whoever he wants to marry is a matter of his words. Will there be someone he can't marry? ”

"If the county lord is not willing to marry him as a side concubine, then don't want to marry anyone else. Otherwise, he'd have killed that man! ”

Two words floated through Bai Jiaojiao's mind:

[Terrible. 】

Mrs. Murong said: "The county lord is Ji Yan's biological cousin, although one of their two cousins is often in the palace, and the other is outside the palace. But the relationship between the two families of Ganlu and Ji is very special, and their two cousins can still see each other often. ”

After the county lord rejected that person, he told Ji Yan what that person had said to her truthfully. Ji Yan had seen that person before, and felt that person was a little domineering, not gentle enough to people, and not her ideal type of husband. As soon as I heard about that incident, I didn't have a good impression of that person. ”

Speaking of this, Mrs. Murong sighed helplessly and said, "But the emperor doesn't know who he listened to, saying that Ji Yan looks down on him, and he must be the apprentice of her father, General Murong." So when Ji Yan rejected him very much, he forcibly let Ji Yan be his wife. ”

The two brothers of Murong Chi, after Ji Yan married into the palace, still led the army, and followed Uncle Ji and them to fight against the enemy army outside.

Murong Chi has always had Ji Yan's little junior sister in his heart, but he knew that she had a marriage contract with a prince, so he hid his love for her deep in his heart.

Even after Ji Yan became the queen and gave birth to His Royal Highness the Ten Princes, Murong Chi's affection for Ji Yan continued unabated. He is willing to suffer the white eyes of others, but he also wants to stay in the imperial city and lead the army to guard the capital division.

"But who knows that General Murong did that just to protect Ji Yan's only child, the Ten Princes?" Mrs. Murong said in a trembling voice: "Murong Chi once said to your Uncle Murong that even though there are thousands of flowers, the pure flower that blooms on the tip of his heart will always be the only one of Ji Yan's junior sisters. ”

When Bai Jiaojiao heard this, her mood suddenly became relaxed.

Even if they were the Lord of Lingyan, they couldn't enter the Imperial City, but wasn't General Murong still in the Imperial City? Judging from the current situation, the people in the land of Nansheng who are closest to the Ten Princes should be regarded as General Murong.

With General Murong protecting the Ten Princes, she can also feel at ease.

Early the next morning.

After Bai Jiaojiao got up and washed, she hurriedly ran out of the bamboo forest, wanting to meet Uncle Murong and Aunt Murong. Knowing that the two of them were going to the imperial city, I wanted to meet them before they left.

When Bai Jiaojiao ran out of the bamboo forest, she saw a woman in white, just looking at the back, it looked very much like Mrs. Murong. When she heard the man's voice, she realized that the person was not Mrs. Murong at all.

"Last night, after Madam went to see you, she left Murong Mansion with the master. Madame, before leaving, let me hand you over an item. So, that's why I'm here for you. ”

The woman in white said, turned to look at Bai Jiaojiao, took out the talisman and other things from her purse, and said, "If you take these things with you, you can leave Shengcheng smoothly and go anywhere you want." When you return to Jingbei County, you can hand over these items to Princess Jingbei. ”

Bai Jiaojiao stretched out her hands to take it, and sincerely thanked Yi Rong for becoming Mrs. Murong.

The woman in white smiled slightly, and said in a very soft voice: "They are gone, and I still have to guard here." Mrs. asked me to go to see Xiaoxue, and when Xiaoxue rested for two days, she asked Xiaoxue to go out to deliver the letter. ”

When she said this, there was a faint hint of eagerness in the eyes of the woman in white, but when she turned around and walked towards the pond, she was so calm.

Several maidservants stepped forward and took Bai Jiaojiao to the hall to eat.

Bai Jiaojiao sat at a wooden table and ate lean porridge and eggs. While the maidservants didn't pay much attention, they quietly left twenty taels of silver in a corner of the hall.

In the land of Shengjun, there are not many people who still have surplus food at home to entertain guests. Mrs. Murong and the others are willing to save money in vain, but they also want her to be full and rest. She felt an unusual warmth here, and she wanted to leave them a little gift.

After the reins. Bai Jiaojiao with H another person's talisman and other things. According to the bottle of Xing who the maidservants gave her to describe the technique. Yi Rong became Xing's personal appearance. Ride away

Sheng County.

After three or four days of traveling, Bai Jiaojiao arrived in Nanjun on horseback, and with the memory in her mind, she quickly found the place where her uncle's mansion was located.

Squatting in a hidden corner near the mansion, Bai Jiaojiao saw that the two guards waiting outside the door were very familiar. After searching in the memories left by the original owner, she realized that those few of them used to be her uncle's entourage.

My uncle led the army to fight in the northern Xinjiang, and those retinues helped my uncle guard the house in Nan County.

Bai Jiaojiao heard Mrs. Murong say that this mansion was given to her uncle Bai Ximing after someone else built it.

She thought to herself, her uncle can get this spacious and luxurious house, behind the scenes, I'm afraid that he will help others do things that harm others, right?

It's just that this mansion is surrounded by forests, and Mrs. Murong's so-called fields, that is, these forests, do not have any fields that are planted with crops.

On the way to Bai Jiaojiao's arrival in this mansion, she paid attention to the environment around the mansion. At that time, I saw the nearest mansion to this mansion, and it took nearly half an hour to ride a horse.

I really don't understand, what did her uncle think at that time, such a mansion far away from Nancheng?

In order to figure out this matter, Bai Jiaojiao decided in her heart that when it was dark, she would sneak into the courtyard and find out.

After dark, two men in black came out of the house, one to the left and the other to the right, standing on either side of the gate.

One of the men who had stood at the door before had said something to the two men who had just come out, and then he and the man who was guarding with him walked into the mansion one after the other.

From the place where Gan Bai Jiaojiao was, the distance from those men was not close, so he couldn't hear what they had just said.

The more she couldn't hear what they were talking about, the more desperate she was to know what they had talked about. I was in a hurry, and I couldn't help but reach out and grab my hair hard.
