Since Nangong Jin left Pingyang without saying a word that day, the atmosphere in Nangong Mansion has plummeted again. After that, Nangong Pu didn't go back to Fenghuayuan much, because Nangong Dingkang had a secret conversation with him for a day.

Nangong Dingkang, who calmed down, actually regretted giving Nangong Jin Sitang the right to command, and even the heavy twilight sword. So what I want Nangong Pu to do now is to find out the past that Nangong Jin has not talked about, which is finally a piece of Nangong Dingkang's heart.

After receiving the news that Qianlitang did not keep up with Nangong Jin, Li Mo was ordered to go out of the customs with the caravan and go to Tutuo and Bansheng. However, the task given to him by Nangong Dingkang was to assist Nangong Jin. For Nangong Dingkang, believing or not believing is a dilemma.

In Fenghua Garden, originally every time there was a quarrel, Nangong Pu would definitely come to coax him. But this time, Shen Xueying has been living in the guest room for a month.

She really didn't understand why before Nangong Jin came back, there were just a lot of dishes and chopsticks at home that no one used during the New Year's Festival, should she eat or eat, play or play. Even if you are a little worried, you will not leave Qiming Hall. Since the uncle returned home, the whole world seemed to revolve around him, and even the emotions of the children were tied to him.

This time off, the children asked to go back to the academy to study, originally Cheng Rui didn't like to read, but he actually had to follow his brother and ask him why? He said, 'You have to learn more to help your uncle.' ’

The children are sensible, but Shen Xueying doesn't like it.

received an invitation from a friend to enjoy the plum blossoms, Shen Xueying went without thinking about it. Chatting with those ladies is really a good way to pass the time, and the east and west are short. Especially Mrs. Luo, every time I see her, I cry with remorse, but she has not come to the meeting three or four times. I heard that Roche had declined and was selling her property, and Pingyang's wife circle fired her.

Of course, Shen Xueying knew that the Nangong clan was also the main topic of conversation for these ladies, so it was good to give some face, and it was not appropriate to talk about it in front of her.

Even such a boring party is better than at home, but unfortunately, such a party only lasts for an hour or two. The ladies left one by one, and the plum village was deserted. Shen Xueying sat alone for a while, and also got up to leave.

"Sister Xueying." A familiar voice stopped her.

Shen Xueying turned around and saw that the person who came was actually Liu Yi, and asked in surprise, "Why are you?" After speaking, she looked around again, before she sent the little girl to the back door to arrange the vehicle, and she hadn't come back yet.

Liu Yi smiled: "I've seen it, there is no one here." No one saw me when I came. Sister Xue Ying is relieved. ”

The Nangong family has always had secret guards, and Shen Xueying knew it very well. Last time, it was the secret guard who saw her and Liu Yi meet, which made Nangong Pu suspicious.

"Y-Are you okay?" After all, Liu Yi also told her the news of her younger brother, no matter whether Liu Yi poisoned Nangong Jin before, in her opinion, it was also to help her. Talking about the events of that day selfishly, she sympathized with Liu Yi, but she was also envious, and it was an accident to be able to leave Pingyang and Nangong Clan.

Liu Yi smiled and said, "Let's go to the plum garden, we can talk for more time, and my sister will leave the front door in a while." I still know a little bit about these routines of the Nangong family. ”

Before the sun set, there was no sound in the plum garden.

"Sister, how are you doing these days?" Looking at her, her face was full of concern.

Shen Xueying sighed and smiled bitterly.

"Alas, this time I feel most sorry for Sister Xue Ying. It's that I didn't do a good job, and I believe too much that there is justice in this world. Liu Yi's tone was full of apologies.

Shen Xueying smiled miserably, "I don't blame you, people are watching the sky, and there will be retribution." ”

Liu Yi stopped and looked at Shen Xueying, but she didn't expect that she hadn't seen her for so many days, and she also had star white hair on her head. Nodding his head, he reminded, "However, he took the Heavy Twilight Sword." ”

"Ah Pu said that the family discussed it." Shen Xueying didn't have any expression, and seemed to have recognized it a long time ago.

Liu Yi looked at Shen Xueying, "Sister, do you know that the Nangong family has always been armed?" ”

"I heard Ah Pu mention that there are four halls in the north." Shen Xueying nodded, her tone was very flat.

"There are four churches to the north, more than 10,000 people, fully armed and well-equipped. The Nangong clan's spending on them has always been regardless of the cost, and now there is a hall that has been converted into the Ming army. Liu Yi paused, looked at Shen Xueying's dispensable appearance, and asked, "Sister, do you think these have nothing to do with you?" ”

Shen Xueying laughed. Indeed, that's exactly what she thought.

"If I tell you that the Heavy Twilight Sword is the Nangong family's talisman, do you still think it has nothing to do with you?" Liu Yi asked.

Shen Xueying was stunned, not knowing what to think.

Liu Yi was very satisfied with Shen Xueying's expression, and continued: "Your father-in-law, you have handed over all the strongest forces of the Nangong clan to your younger son. I always thought that the future patriarch of the Nangong clan would be your husband, but now it seems that ....... ”

Shen Xueying turned her head sharply to stare at Liu Yi, "What do you mean?" ”

Liu Yi looked at her with infinite sympathy and said, "I just told you what I know, just like the last time I told you the cause of Shen Dagongzi's death." ”

"Tell me straight, I don't like to guess." Shen Xueying looked at Liu Yi with a serious expression.

"Originally, the Nangong clan only had one son, and they didn't worry about inheritance at all. Now it's different, Nangong Jin was crowned General Wude. In the future, even if everything hasn't changed, with your husband's temperament, you can still suppress this younger brother? What's more, now that the force is all in his hands, it is really difficult to say what will happen in the future. Also, do you know Quanzhou and Jingzhou? ”

Shen Xueying looked at her silently, waiting for her to continue.

Liu Yi smiled, and knew her thoughts, "Quanzhou has the only port of the Nangong clan, not to mention Jingzhou, which was created by your husband before." What now? The wealth of these two places probably accounts for half of the Nangong clan. Rich and soldiers, I don't know what your father-in-law is thinking? ”

After a while, Shen Xueying put on an indifferent expression and said, "You came just to tell me this?" ”

Liu Yi said faintly: "You may not know that it is not only their brothers who have the power to continue the Nangong clan. And one more person. ”

"Who?" Shen Xueying asked.

"Sister Xue Ying knows the couple on the back mountain, right?" Liu Yi asked with a smile.

Shen Xueying frowned, "You mean them?" ”

"That couple is your father-in-law's second brother and second sister-in-law. Originally, it was not Nangong Dingkang's turn to inherit the family business. Liu Yi explained.

Shen Xueying shook her head, "They have no children. ”

Liu Yi said slowly: "Their husband and wife are childless, but the second brother has an outer room. More than 30 years ago, several brothers of the Nangong clan competed for the position of the head of the family, Nangong Dingkang won, and everyone else suffered misfortune, and only the outer room became a fish that slipped through the net. Later, she ran to Puzhou, met Yang Bo, and became his concubine. Seven months later, she gave birth to a son named Yang Junyuan. ”

"What?!" Shen Xueying's eyes widened. "Impossible!"

"Sister Xue Ying, why do you think I approached Yang Junyuan before? In fact, even the current Nangong clan still has loyal servants taking care of their mother and son. Liu Yi looked at her and smiled.

"Sister Xueying, I'm telling you this just to tell you that I'm on your side. When I was a child, I was always taken care of by everyone, and Sister Xueying didn't treat me as an outsider. In my heart, like Sister Xue Ying, I think that the future Nangong clan must be Nangong's eldest brother. ”

"But now, I just want to remind my sister that if Nangong Jin becomes the patriarch in the future, my sister and your family will inevitably leave Pingyang, and you will be out of the house. Maybe ......, Nangong Jin is not a good person, I don't know what he will do. If Yang Junyuan recognizes his ancestors and returns to his ancestors, alas, ......, although I am his concubine, I don't want to see my sister and you are homeless, and everything is now in vain. ”

Liu Yi didn't say it loudly, but for Shen Xueying, it was like thunder, "You, what is the use of you talking to me about this?" ”

"Sister, find a way to make Brother Nangong the head of the family as soon as possible. In this way, everything is set, whether it is Nangong Jin or Yang Junyuan, what else can be done? Liu Yi seemed to be anxious for her, "Of course, the first thing to do is to take back the heavy twilight sword, that sword can only be owned by the head of the family." ”

"What are you talking about?!" Shen Xueying stomped her feet in annoyance, "Do you know what you're talking about?" ”

"Sister Xue Ying, the current head of the family is Nangong Dingkang, if he has anything to do, he can only be Nangong Big Brother. I know that someone is secretly operating, wanting Nangong Dingkang's team to withdraw from Pingyang so that Yang Junyuan can take the position. But we can completely use their hands to force Nangong Dingkang away, after all, Nangong Big Brother is the rightful head of the family. Liu Yi seemed to tell her everything he knew.

"You—don't talk about ....... I, I, it's not something I can do. It's not early, I'm going back. Shen Xueying panicked in her heart, and seemed to vaguely guess Liu Yi's thoughts.

Liu Yi looked at her, as if a thousand words were condensed into one sentence, "Sister, I'm going to Puzhou." I thanked my sister for taking care of me before. Saying that, Ying Ying bowed down, "Sister Xueying, take care." With that, he turned and left.

In the plum garden, only Shen Xueying was left standing.

Liu Yi was wearing a cloak and was walking quickly through the city gate. Outside the city gates, a peasant wearing a hat followed.

"How?" This person not only wears a hat, but also covers the lower half of his face with a coarse cloth scarf, and the appearance is almost invisible to outsiders.

"Same as I thought." Liu Yi didn't look at him, and was still moving forward.

"Is that a success?" The peasants were puzzled.

"She'll do it. But we can't rush, we weren't so fast anyway. "Liu Yi is very sure." Go back quickly, you will be discovered if you are so far out of the city. ”

The farmer sighed, "This can only be done. ”

"I've arranged to contact you, and since you've given me all the relationships you have, I'm sure I won't let you down." Liu Yi said confidently.

"Yang Junyuan, you protect." The farmer instructed.

Liu Yi smiled contemptuously, "He doesn't have any skills, he can speak with one mouth." ”

"He's much more than that, and I've sent someone to teach him ......."

"I do things, you can rest assured." Liu Yi didn't have the patience to listen and interrupted. "Go back, I'll go directly to Puzhou. There's my car ahead, so don't come with me. ”

The peasant stopped, looked at it for a while, and shook his head back to the city.
