Mao An shook his head helplessly and said, "I don't know."

I only heard my sister say that the night was originally for your father's birthday, and the house was very lively, and many guests were there.

After all, your father is a general of the dynasty, in charge of all the soldiers and horses in the court, sloppy and flattering, and there are many people who want to recruit your father to join the party struggle!

At the same time, there is also your aunt Anaxin's status in the later dynasty, as well as her enduring honor.

Coupled with your father's many military exploits, his position is unshakable, so this is actually not a good thing for your father.

After all, he never participates in party struggles, and for the forces surging in the capital, your father is a thorn in their side!

That night, no one knew what happened in the general's mansion, only that the next day after the rain, the general Xiao Kuo did not go to the early dynasty for the first time.

The emperor sent people to inquire, only to find that the whole palace had been killed. ”

When Mao An said these words, his voice was already a little hoarse, which showed that he was really distressed by this.

Xiao Nansheng suddenly raised his head and asked, "Except for the female dependents in the general's mansion, the men should know some kung fu, right?"

My father was a general, so how could ordinary people easily take his life? ”

Mao An's expression tightened, and then said, "This is also what I have always been puzzled about.

For so many years, I have also been wondering, what kind of person can kill a military general's family overnight?

Even if you are a master of the rivers and lakes, it is impossible to do it and let the entire General's Mansion die, right? ”

Nan Sheng also thought of this, but with Nan Sheng's guess, I am afraid that Xiao Kuo's death is inseparable from the reason that he is a master of merit.

There are many such examples in history, and with a small position, it can be said that one person is below and above ten thousand.

Coupled with the special favor of Anaxin in the harem, as well as the talisman in his hand, it will not be feared, so how can it be?

If he is loyal, it will be a good thing for the Great Zhou, after all, his deterrence of the entire Great Zhou border is not just talking.

But if he has a different heart, the entire royal family and even the Great Zhou Dynasty may have to let him play with it.

With such a status, both the emperor and the prince at that time would probably be jealous, right?

If Nan Sheng's guess was right, those princes around the emperor at that time should have secretly done a lot to solicit Xiao Kuo.

Such a situation is actually extremely unfavorable for Xiao Kuo, if he agrees to one of them, then it is equivalent to offending the other parties.

However, if he does not agree, he insists on maintaining neutrality and staying alone, in line with the concept that if the party cannot fight, it must be eliminated forever.

Xiao Kuo will inevitably be watched by those forces.

Obviously, Mao An and Xiao Nansheng are also aware of this.

I saw Xiao Nansheng suddenly say, "Teacher, I want to go back to the Central Plains." ”

Mao An looked at him with a clear expression and said, "You decided?" If you're determined to find out who is behind it, it's not easy.

If you're not careful, you might even lose your life, and then you'll really live up to your mother's wishes. ”

Xiao Nansheng lowered his head and was silent for a while, and then said: "The teacher has always taught me that a husband should be affectionate and righteous, sensible, and know right and wrong.

Now that I know that my family died unexpectedly, I have to find out, right? ”

Mao An nodded, only to see him suddenly get up and walk to the bookshelf behind him.

took out an arm-thick bamboo tube from inside, handed it to Xiao Nansheng and said, "This is the letter I have exchanged with your aunt over the years, and everything she found is here."

Maybe it will help you, when you enter the capital, you have to be extremely careful, and you must not reveal your identity, so as not to attract death.

Also, if you want to find out about your father's death, the best way is for you to find a way to enter the center of the court as soon as possible.

It's only by reaching those people that you can find clues.

If not, you'll never get a chance to find out. ”

Mao An's words can be said to be in one sentence, not in it, only on the edge, how can he know the many secrets in it?

Xiao Nansheng nodded silently, and Mao An said again: "Also, when you enter the capital, you must not be in a hurry to recognize your aunt."

After all, she is just a woman, and I am afraid that if you have the slightest trouble in the future, she will not be able to help but leak out. ”

Xiao Nansheng still nodded lightly, and after a long time, he saw Mao An sigh and said, "As a teacher, I can only help you get here."

After all, I have been away from the Central Plains for too long, and I know very little about the Central Plains.

Everything depends on you, remember, everything is the first thing to save your life, stay in the green mountains, and you are not afraid of no firewood! ”

Xiao Nansheng got up suddenly, respectfully bowed to Mao An, and said after a long time: "The teacher's words, the students should keep them in mind. ”

So, the next day, Xiao Nansheng took his luggage and set out on the road to the Central Plains.

Of course, he was followed by a shepherd dog that couldn't be driven away no matter how angry he was.

Across the prairie was an endless desert hinterland, and they drove for three days, and the water on them was quickly depleted.

As a dog, Nan Sheng regretted that he followed this thin master like a firewood stick out of the grassland.

Just when it was dizzy with thirst, it began to miss the sheep and lamb on the grassland, and the sweet river water!

While it was still hanging its head, thinking about it weakly, it was walking forward.

Suddenly, I heard Xiao Nansheng shouting in the distance: "Come on!" There's water, there's water. ”

Nan Sheng slowly raised his head, and sure enough, he saw an oasis.

A man and a dog drank enough water on the edge of the pool, and filled all the vessels that could hold water on their bodies.

Then they were back on the road, and after passing through this oasis, they probably walked for nearly three more days.

They were lucky enough to come across a pool, and they rested here again.

Then they walked for another three or four days, but after that, they didn't see a water source again.

When Nan Sheng finally fainted, the last thing he saw was a camel caravan.

When it opened its eyes again, it and Xiao Nansheng were already lying on the camel's back.

There is still an endless desert in front of him, Xiao Nansheng has not woken up yet, looking at the skin on his lips, he knows that he is caused by severe water shortage.

During this time, Nansheng fell asleep again, and the last time he woke up was when the entire caravan was resting when it left the desert.

As soon as he woke up, he heard a man next to him say, "Look, this dog is alive."

I thought it was dead! I didn't open my eyelids all the way. ”

Another old man walked over slowly, put a porcelain bowl in front of Nan Sheng, and got some water into it.
