Chapter 186: An Accidental Discovery

There was a carriage parked at the gate, Shi Zhouxin, the governor of Chuzhou, and a white-haired old man were whispering something, and inside the gate, Wu Jin greeted him, and said with a smile: "Old Jiang Ge, I haven't seen you for a long time, and your body has always been good?" ”

The white-haired old man was none other than Lao Jiang Yan of the Neiwei Pavilion, and he also laughed and said: "His Royal Highness King Heiliang has unlimited scenery in Chuzhou, and I can hear your news from time to time in the capital." ”

"That's not a good thing, haha! The elder and the elder of the pavilion please sit in the house. ”

Wu Jin smiled and invited them into the house, of course he knew that Jiang Yan was here for the Jin'an party, the three of them came to Wu Jin's outer study and sat down, a maid served them tea, Jiang Yan took a sip of hot tea, and said first: "The excuse for my trip to Beijing this time is to inspect the embroidered clothes and plum blossom guards in various places, and I just came from Guangling County." ”

"How is Huangfu Handsome in Guangling?" Wu Jin asked with a smile.

"Xiuyi Wei is under control, but I heard that his relationship with the Guangling Military Mansion is not very good."

Jiang Yan glanced at Zhou Xin and said with a smile: "Maybe Zhou Changshi knows the situation better than me." ”

Zhou Xin said lightly: "This person's heart is not right, and his qualifications are not enough, as soon as he came to Guangling, he wanted to seize power and change generals, and wanted to use the officers of the embroidered guards to serve as senior officials of the military government, but the result was not successful, how could the military lieutenant still obey him, coupled with the fact that the Wuhua Meiji soldiers were not strict, and there was a bloody case of the embroidered guards killing the soldiers of the military government when they went to Guangling, and in the end, the contradiction between the embroidered guards and the local army was sharp, and it was difficult for him to reconcile the contradictions between the two armies. ”

Wu Jin nodded, "This is indeed a problem, in fact, the same is true of the plum blossom guard, three days ago, five plum blossom guard sergeants fought with seven sailor soldiers in a green building in Linjiang Town, I summoned the hundred officers of the navy and the plum blossom guard, in front of them, these twelve soldiers each beat a hundred military sticks, all of them were locked up for a month, this kind of thing is difficult to say who is right and wrong, only the major fifty boards to show fairness." ”

"Forget it, let's not talk about this."

Jiang Yan smiled: "Wujin, do you know Zhang Yannian?" ”

"It's Zhang Chongjun's eldest son, right!"

Wu Jin knew the name, and he hurriedly asked, "Did something happen to him?" ”

"Nothing happened, he also came to Jiangning, he came to the meeting on behalf of his father, he was not good to show up at the same time as me, so he didn't come today, mainly because the struggle between Zhang Chongjun and Huangfu Zhuo has reached the most critical moment, and he really can't leave."

Wujin's heart was gloomy, Huangfu Zhuo was the only son of Huangfu Jiang, he didn't want Huangfu Zhuo to have an accident, Jiang Yan seemed to understand Wujin's heart, so he sighed and said to him: "This matter has been resolved, the last time the old county king went to the Xiliang army, the heir of the Liang Dynasty has been clarified, Zhang Chongjun was succeeded by the heir of the Liang King, Zhang Chongjun publicly expressed his support, and also won the support of most of the main generals of the Xiliang Army, but I didn't expect that half a month ago, the emperor suddenly issued an order, named Huangfu Zhuo as the hussar general, the head of the Helong soldiers and horses, This is the official name of the main general before the Helong Jiedu, and it was abolished after the establishment of the Helong Jiedu, but I didn't expect the emperor to turn it out again, and put it on Huangfu Zhuo, Huangfu Zhuo began to make trouble again, and he paid a lot of money to win over Zhang Chongjun's generals, and promised them heavy jobs, saying that it was the emperor's secret decree, hey! This stupid man, he just doesn't understand the emperor's intentions. ”

"What is the attitude of the old prince?"

Jiang Yan lowered his head, and after a while, he said with a heavy heart: "The old prince has been so angry with Huangfu Zhuo that he is very sick, he went to visit him when I came, and he asked me to tell you, I only ask you to spare the lives of Huangfu Zhuo and Huangfu Wuzhi in the future." ”

Wu Jin nodded silently, this is a must, if he can't even do this, how can he be worthy of Huangfu Jiang's kindness to him.

At this time, Zhou Xin said beside him: "Zen Master Huiming is also coming, but he first has to go to Laoshan to worship the wine Taoist Yu Xuan, they had the best relationship in the past, in addition, there is also the Huangfu Bailing of Donghai County." ”

"My grandfather is not in good health, he can't come, and his son doesn't know about the Jin'an Society, so he has no representative."

Wu Jin suddenly frowned and said, "What about Island Master Chen?" Why is there no news of him? ”

Zhou Xin and Jiang Yan glanced at each other, and Jiang Yan smiled bitterly and said: "This is exactly what I want to tell you, the Lord of Chen Island wants the Jin'an Conference to be held on Ryukyu Island, he wants to participate, but his legs are not good, I hope we can pass." ”

Wu Jin didn't say anything, he was really unhappy in his heart, he knew that this was just an excuse, the real reason was that the Chen family wanted to lead this Jin'an gathering, Chen Zhiduo was his grandfather, maybe in his heart, he was still the stupid second in the past, whoever mastered himself was the master of the Jin'an Society, if there was an internal struggle within the Jin'an Society, it would never be a good thing.

"And what about everyone's opinions?" Wu Jin asked in a deep voice.

"Everyone's opinion is to focus on the overall situation, respect the owner of Ryukyu Island, and go to Ryukyu Island for a meeting."

Jiang Yan said again: "Zen Master Huiming said that it may be because the Lord of Chen Island has been overseas for a long time, he feels that he has been marginalized by the Jin'an Society, so he is a little dissatisfied in his heart, and we should understand his feelings, so everyone unanimously agreed to go to Ryukyu Island, and now wait for the lord's will." ”

"I mean!"

Wu Jin snorted heavily, "I mean don't go, let the Chen family come over, or don't want them to participate, this is the meeting I convened, the Chen family actually changed the place without notifying me, do they still take me in their eyes?" ”

Jiang Yan and Zhou Xin saw that Wu Jin was angry, and they stopped talking, Wu Jin walked around the room with his hands behind his back, very annoyed in his heart, in fact, he guessed that the Chen family had another purpose, they wanted to read Li Jianguo on the condition of helping themselves, or they were afraid that they would take away their military power.

Wu Jin slowly calmed down, in fact, Chen Zhiduo can't be blamed for this, after all, forty years have passed, he is not a machine, he is also a person with seven emotions and six desires, he has his own children and grandchildren, it is normal to think about his family and descendants, and he has no right to make them unconditionally loyal.

Thinking of this, Wu Jin turned to the two and said, "Okay! Then according to the Chen family's wishes, this party will be held on Ryukyu Island, and it just so happens that I will also discuss with them, how should I attack their Phoenix Society? ”

After a pause, he said: "I will go to sea to practice in five days, so let's go to sea together on my boat!" ”

........ Wu Jin was going to go to sea for a drill in five days, although there were still five days to go, Su Han began to pack up his things, in addition to Wu Jin's necessary clothes, there were also some common supplies, and some books that Wu Jin liked.

In the room, Su Han took out a leather box and put Wu Jin's clothes in it, she felt that the box seemed to be a little smaller, and she didn't know if Wu Jin's books could be placed, she thought about it, and then got up and walked towards Wu Jin's inner study.

Wujin's inner study is on the first floor of the small building where Su Han lives, the top one on the east side, usually Su Han does not enter Wujin's inner study, usually Jing Niang comes to clean and tidy up, but Jing Niang is pregnant, her body is a little inconvenient, and the reaction is greater, so Su Han decided to take her for a while.

The inner study is not big, the walls are painted white, there are a few celebrity calligraphy and paintings, the furniture is also very simple, a table, a chair and two bookcases against the wall, there will be no guests coming in here, so there is no chair for the guests to sit on, these days Wu Jin goes out early and returns late, and he has not stayed in the study, the study looks cold, so that Su Han can't help but shiver, she walked quickly to a bookcase inside, she didn't come to get the books, she just wanted to see how many books Wu Jin was going to take, if there were many books, she had to prepare a suitcase.

There are two bookcases in the room, one large and one small, with hundreds of books, all of which are books that Wu Jin usually reads, among which dozens of books in the small bookcase are his favorite books, and he usually has to take them with him when he goes to other places.

Su Han quickly estimated that Wu Jin would probably bring more than sixty books, and that suitcase could not fit it, so she could only prepare another suitcase for him.

At this time, Su Han saw a book she was very familiar with on the top shelf, "The Monkey King Havoc in the Heavenly Palace", and she felt a hint of warmth in her heart, and reached out to take down the book.

The book is very new, there is a bookmark with a ribbon in it, she turned to the page of the bookmark, it happened to be the part where Sun Wukong entered the Pan Tao Garden, she couldn't help but think of the story that Wu Jin told her, this is actually the other immortals who planted Sun Wukong after stealing the peach, Su Han showed a knowing smile on his face.

She closed the book and put it back in its place, but she couldn't put it back after a few times, she felt a little strange in her heart, and looked on tiptoe, and found that a little gold appeared in the crack of the book just now, and there seemed to be something behind the book.

She moved Wu Jin's chair over, climbed on the chair to inspect the bookshelf, only to find that there was something inside, it seemed to be a small gold box, how could there be a small gold box hidden behind the bookshelf? Su Han felt strange in his heart, so he slowly took out the gold box, which was a very delicate small gold box.

'Is there anything else this guy is hiding?' ’

Su Han shook her head and smiled, ready to put the gold box back in its place, but the curiosity in her heart made her retract her hand again, what could it be?

Su Han wasn't worried about her husband hiding anything from him, because he had told him all his biggest secrets, but her intuition told her that the contents of this gold box should have nothing to do with his background.

Su Han got down from the chair and slowly opened the gold box, only to see that inside was a night pearl the size of a pigeon's egg, the whole body was crystal green, Su Han herself had a lamp made of night pearls, she was not interested in this pearl, but a jade acacia red bean next to her made her a little interested.

When she was in the capital, she saw Wujin wear it, and later after getting married, the acacia red bean on his neck was gone, she once suspected that it was a token given to him by another woman, maybe it was Chen Ying, Su Han knew that Chen Ying was Wujin's cousin, and he had always been very infatuated with him, but this guy suspected that the girl had dark skin.

It is estimated that this night pearl was also given to him by Chen Ying, this guy actually hid it so well, but at this time, Su Han found that there was a small folded note underneath, and she hesitated.

She knew that she should not look at her husband's secrets, and that he had hidden the gold box in the bookcase just that he did not want her to know, but a woman's instinctive sense of self-preservation filled her heart with a desire to open it.

After some mental struggle, Su Han finally couldn't help but take out the note.

'My heart is like a pearl, the night is bright, the pearl is lovesick, and I hope that you will return from home. ’

There are four lines of poetry written on the snow-white paper, the handwriting is very beautiful, and there are eight words below, which is the handwriting of Wu Jin, 'Hide it in your heart, how to forget it.' ’

Su Han was stunned, she knew that this woman was definitely not Chen Ying.
