After Jing Xi's reminder, Ye Huaiyu's chaotic thoughts were reorganized, and when his eyes were focused on secretly looking again, he saw new clues.

Before he could say it, Cheng Jingxi took the lead and said: "There are only a few people here who are not speaking the common language of my Zhao, and the rest of the people can basically conclude that they are not from outside." ”

In the darkness, Ye Huaiyu's eyes flashed with approval, and he nodded and said, "Indeed, if so many people came in from outside, it would be impossible for my father to have no news coming back." ”

"So," Cheng Jingxi speculated, "they just came here to explore the way this time?" ”

"It's hard to say," Ye Huaiyu shook his head, "If that's the case, then the purpose is too simple." ”

And, if it was just a path, why did they get here? This is not the only way to get to Beijing, and it can even be said to be a detour.

If someone says they have a simple purpose, he doesn't believe it.

Cheng Jingxi may also feel that her analysis is too one-sided after asking that sentence, so she also closed her mouth and did not express any opinions on this topic.

After some quiet discussion, both of them understood that they must not act rashly at this moment, the few people inside seemed to be just advance soldiers, and killing them actually had little effect, and the people who were planning behind them could be thrown away and send a few more people over.

After leaving the old house, the two touched a family all the way, the original owner of the house was killed during the day, and the body was displayed in the courtyard, Cheng Jingxi endured the physical discomfort and followed Ye Huaiyu to the house.

"Don't be afraid, even if they turn into ghosts in the end, it won't be us who come back."

Cheng Jingxi pursed her lips and said, "But if it weren't for us, they wouldn't have died in Huangquan." ”

Ye Huaiyu was noncommittal, did not respond to her with a word, but casually turned out some dried cornmeal buns by the stove, turned around and handed them to Cheng Jingxi, "I will eat some, we will have the strength to go back to Beijing." ”

Cheng Jingxi was also hungry at this time, even if she ate leftovers, she must be able to eat the feeling of a full banquet, she swallowed her saliva involuntarily, and after chattering to the old house for a while, she put it in her mouth.

Just the moment she bit down, she almost didn't cry.

She was hungry, yes, but the bun was too hard.

Just thinking about it, Ye Huaiyu turned out some cold water out of nowhere, and scooped a scoop into her hand as if she had a feeling, "Just eat it, it can be softer." ”

Cheng Jingxi sighed silently, and could only fill his mouth hard.

"When are we going back?" She asked, "Are you still waiting here to see what happens next for this group?" ”

"It's useless to wait, we are alone, and now even if we want to send the message to Shangjing, we don't know how to pass it, through what means, and you also know one thing," Ye Huaiyu glanced at her, and his tone became a little difficult, "Except for a few people in the old mansion who don't speak the lingua franca of Dazhao, the rest should be locals, and that group of people knows at a glance that they are well-trained on weekdays, which is very different from the temporary collection, so even if we know that they have a change here to send the letter back, There is no guarantee of who will end up with the news, or who will intercept it. ”

The meaning of Ye Huaiyu's words has been expressed very clearly, Shangjing seems to be peaceful at the moment, but in fact, there are already people secretly connecting with foreign enemies, otherwise they would not have entered the territory of Jokhang unknowingly, and there are still available soldiers in the military camp by their side.

They must have an internal response in Beijing.

And this Nei Ying has not yet shown his head, and there is no way to know who it is.

Cheng Jingxi lowered her eyes and was silent, and did not speak again.

In fact, Ye Huaiyu had a rough guess in his heart, but everything needs evidence, and besides, he can't rashly expose this kind of matter that connects the nine clans, if he makes a mistake, it will be irreparable.

Who revealed the fact that he and Cheng Jingxi returned to the countryside to sweep the tomb during the Qingming Festival?

Why didn't there be anything to do all the way, but he was killed halfway on the day he left to return to Beijing? How did they know when he and his wife had set off? What route did you take?

Ye Huaiyu suddenly remembered the man in the white day who suddenly rushed in front of him and tried to attack Cheng Jingxi's guard.

Yes, the inside of the guards of the Shuai Mansion is rotten, and they have been planted as spies!

But who is so powerful that he can send people and ghosts into the guards without being noticed at all?

And his eldest brother Ye Huaixin only stayed for a day and hurriedly set off to rush back, saying that there was an urgent matter in Beijing, and he wanted him to go back to discuss, and before leaving, take away half of the guards.

This is understandable, he took his wife and children all the way back, although he may not encounter unforeseen dangers, but there will be no mistakes in case of accidents.

However, the piles that happened seemed to collide with each other by such a coincidence and reasonableness, but who can really be sure that those reasonable coincidences were not man-made?

If he was really involved in this, then what role did he play? Is it the lead or is it a matchmaker? However, with his current position in the DPRK, I am afraid that it is not as simple as just pulling a line.

He has always deliberately avoided too much interaction with the two brothers who are officials in the court, if it is not necessary, he will hide as far as he wants, but they have repeatedly embarrassed him, he cares about family affection and does not care about them in general, but he can't imagine that in exchange for more intensification.

Again and again put him in a dangerous situation, in the past, it was just a small fight, it was still a tickle, but now it is a real knife and a real gun that wants to directly want his life, the last time the bandits in Anqu County told him that he almost couldn't return to Beijing, and this time he almost bought one and got one free to catch Cheng Jingxi's life.

If he couldn't quite see who the black hand behind it might be the previous time, then this time is enough for him to give himself a reasonable judgment.

The intelligence dealer he killed must have sent a message to Ye Huaixin.

I heard Bi'er say that during the period when he went out, the black cat Dabao once came to his yard and scared Cheng Jingxi half to death, of course, putting aside Cheng Jingxi's deception for the time being, Dabao appeared in his yard, it was a coincidence, and it was not a coincidence.

Of course, he knew that Dabao had been kept in the wing room all the time, and if someone opened the door and accidentally let it take advantage of the loophole, it would never have slipped the door and picked the lock by itself.

So who exactly opened the door, it goes without saying.

Maybe Ye Huaijin and Ye Huaixin had some conversation in the wing, maybe Ye Huaijin had some conversation with others there.

However, combined with what happened to him in Anqu County that day, the former is more likely.

From this, it can also be determined that the group of people who attacked them before in Anqu County had nothing to do with Ye Huaixin.

But one thing is still very suspicious, they take money to do things, but who would be stupid enough to carry all the money with them instead of keeping it safe? One is stupid, three or five or even a litter of people are like this, it is difficult not to make people suspicious.

They seemed to be deliberately telling him whose money they were taking, but who the employer was, and they wanted to go!

He thought that they would take care of the people in the Shuai Mansion and not do it too much, after all, there were still wives and children who still needed to be cared for, but he was wrong, he underestimated their madness and greed.

They only see themselves, and everything else is insignificant.

But what exactly made them suddenly pick up the pace? Is it because the new emperor is in charge of the government? Or is it because of the collective beheading incident that happened not long ago that caused an uproar in Manshangjing?

Cheng Jingheng made Ye Huaijin a supervisor and beheader, did he rely on it or did he mean it?

If it's the latter, then the catalyst is it.

It's just that it's difficult for his two brothers alone to accomplish this, so who else is the leader in Jingzhong besides them?

At his father's birthday banquet that day, the officials who came were uneven, and he only knew that most of them were on his brother's side, but they were all supporters, and they were not enough to pose a threat to shake the government.

Ye Huaiyu suddenly remembered someone.

How did he forget her!

After her father's birthday party, she lived in the Shuai Mansion for so long!

Mu Roushu, Mu family, Mu Prime Minister.

The reason why Ye Huaixin can have today's status in the court is inseparable from Prime Minister Mu's intentional cultivation.

But the prime minister has never liked Ye Huaijin very much, and he has never given him any help in his career, Ye Huaijin was very strong when he was young, and he had to break out of the world by himself, but in the end he was defeated by the innocence of not being deeply involved in the world, and he had to ask his mother for help and let her find a way.

's mother used her mother's relationship to find many ministers' beloved daughters for Ye Huaijin, and finally fell in love with Yuan, and the two tied the knot.

It is said that the two met at the house of Lord Yuan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and it was very coincidental that Prime Minister Mu also sat in the house.

What is the relationship between this, there are many details, people's hearts are separated from the belly, who can know what kind of heart is hidden under the tension on the surface?

Perhaps from a very early age, someone's heart has already divided a branch, and the branch is small at first, but as the nutrients continue to be supplied, the branch grows very hard and thicker, until the branches are so dense that they overshadow the heart.

Six years ago, the first emperor's body had gradually reached his twilight years, and he could not afford to live in the daily arrangement, and sometimes even the early dynasty was saved.

After three years, Cheng Jingheng ascended the throne, and the burden on Prime Minister Mu's shoulders as an auxiliary minister became heavier.

The first emperor ordered Cheng Jingxi to be named Princess Jiayue, and presided over her marriage, married into the Shuai Mansion, and became his wife Ye Huaiyu.

In his impression, aside from the affairs of the state, the first emperor was a very gentle person, and it was unlikely that he would do anything to buy and sell, but he did.

What did the first emperor think when he went?

Maybe when the oil ran out and the lamp was dry, and it was very difficult to even raise his hand, he looked at Cheng Jingheng, who was only nine years old, and seemed to have met everything that was coming.

So he planned the road for him and used Cheng Jingxi's marriage to pave the way.
