Ming Jin left the capital and rushed to Jiaocheng.

At this time, the Wujia army in Jiaocheng had already withdrawn and rushed to the frontier, and the people on the street did not seem to be disturbed by the movement many days ago.

"Everyone has their own little days, unless the country is ruined, or the court is reformed, otherwise those royal families still have good and evil turmoil, in fact, they have nothing to do with it."

Wang Jiu said this against the railing.

Tengu: "Lord, you can't be such an ordinary person. ”

Ming Jin turned his head to look at him, and Tengu said, "You said before that because of your birth, you have to be respected and educated, so you are pretentious, if you are from an ordinary background and are willing to be ordinary, then it is not you." ”

He was offended, but it was exactly what she had said before.

"Therefore, it is too greedy to vertically honor the rich and seek an ordinary life before the turmoil comes."

Ming Jin closed his eyes and tasted a wisp of wind, and opened his eyes when Tuoze arrived.

"Found?"

"Yes, the bodies of Yeli's family are in mass graves."

Tuoze didn't say much, anyway, the lord probably guessed it.

It is impossible for Xie Yuan to be merciful to others.

"Does the corpse show signs of torture?"

"Nope."

"That's just a matter of destroying the door and covering up the secret."

Ming Jin played with the sword spike with his fingers, and pondered: If you want to cover up the secret, you have to destroy it all, but the court hasn't caught it yet, why did her father risk going to the frontier? Even if the commander is in power, once the person behind him pokes out the matter, right, is it because the other party has no evidence in his hand?

The matter of secret letters, the Great Wilderness sent a part, and the other is Linzhou City, which is not very important, because there is no specific point.

That's all?

It can be seen that the behavior of these people seems to have been defeated by the other party as if they had already obtained fatal evidence to defeat the Xie family.

Then, her father's move is a Jedi counterattack, with military power in hand, resisting the enemy externally, and nothing more than two uses internally.

1. Rebellion.

2. Kill the enemy all over the house.

But the enemy army in the Great Wilderness is outside, if her father wants to take it inside.... All the cities over there will have to fall into the hands of the enemy.

No, not to, not to.

Ming Jin clenched the sword spike, his heart was like a drum, but he finally let go and said to Tengu: "As soon as possible, Mingyue and the purlin and a few young brothers and sisters will be arranged in the name of studying." ”

"Tuoze, go to a place with me."

Takuzawa looked up, "Where?" ”

"Wuling."

————————

On the way to Wuling, Tuoze saw that Wang Jiu sent a secret letter sealed with red scorpion seals, but there was no text in the letter, only a simple pattern.

He knew that this was a kind of secret communication, and expressing instructions in simple patterns was the most confidential communication.

However, this pattern was not in his training with Tengu and others, because his lord had other teams of men and horses, which were the most secret.

"Curious?" Ming asked him when he was sleeping in the middle of the mountain road.

Tuoze thought for a moment and shook his head, "I'm glad that the Lord is stronger than I thought, but I don't want to know, so I can ensure its secrecy." ”

"It's really secretive, and I will let him do a lot of unsightly things."

Ming Jin smiled, took a sip of water, ate the dry food that was not delicious, and turned over on the horse.

"But I don't understand why you went to Wuling, you have been tired lately, just to weigh all parties, to plan for the worst situation, now you go to Wuling, it will not be to return to your hometown, is it... Could it be that you suspect that the foundation of Guangling Valley is in Wuling?! ”

"I don't know, I just know that the investigation of it has spread all over the state and province, but it is full of obstacles, so the real body is probably the place we skipped or couldn't investigate in the first place."

"Either in the capital, or in the mirror city where the Su family's foundation is located, and there is the Wuling in charge of the Xie family."

"The capital can be ruled out, because even if the people in the court are blind, and the white-clothed sword and snow building are guarded, the other party doesn't have that ability, otherwise it wouldn't be Guangling Valley The valley lord just appeared, and the Qin seniors came."

"Mirror City and Wuling, it's nothing more than a choice."

Tuoze: "We've been to Mirror City, and we really can't investigate deeply, but I privately think that with Su Shenzhi's person who wants to hide his true nature from Dazai, and is used to using others as swordsmen, but his own innocent and flawless style, the possibility of Mirror City is lower than that of Wu Ling, but Wu Ling... Do you think there's something wrong with Xie's third room? ”

"No, my third uncle is fine, but he is not capable enough."

The ability of the people in the big house is outstanding, and the ability to set off the other two rooms is too backward, and it is okay to deal with ordinary people, but it may not be possible if it is Guangling Valley.

"That Xu Qiubai is a scheming character, when he peeled off the skin and appeared in Huayu Mountain, he disappeared without a trace..."

"At that time, it was thoroughly investigated, and there was no trace of Guangling Valley?"

"It's because I checked it for the first time, and it's my Xie family's foundation, so I haven't checked it later, right? But later, they checked again from Lincheng, and the other party's traces were transferred, do you think they can go to Wuling? Anyway, there are many mountains and rivers in Wuling, and there are many hidden places, I have avoided Wuling over the years, and my father is also very indifferent to Wuling, and he will return to the capital with me in the third room, and then his control over Wuling is extremely weak. ”

Hearing this, Tuoze was shocked, "That... Aren't all the Xie family's subordinates on Wuling's side, no, Lord, do you mean that there are already people in these subordinates who have rebelled? ”

Ming Jin was noncommittal, "Mrs. Zhao used to cooperate with my father, but now?" ”

Tuo Ze was silent, after the two entered the Wuling realm, he separated from Ming Jin to check the situation of those affiliated families, and Ming Jin himself returned to the Xie family's old mansion alone.

Dead.

It seems that with the people of the family who went to the capital, the entire Wuling Xie clan was quiet.

Ming Jin walked through the night and soon arrived in front of the ancestral hall.

The ancestral halls in the capital are all in Xie Yuan's hands, and they should all appear, and what should not appear is what she wants to check.

Ming Jin stood in front of the ancestral hall, looking at the dense tablets that were almost exactly the same as those in the capital, and soon, she locked a block.

Three generations from her great-grandfather to her grandfather.

"Died in battle, died in battle, all died in battle .... However, two people are missing here. ”

Ming's finger landed on the two vacant spots.

One is the great-grandmother Xie Tong in the row of her great-grandfather, because she left the family after saving the Xie family by turning the tide back then, she traveled in the mountains and rivers and never returned.

The other was her grandfather's row.

She didn't have any impression of who this person was, as if the entire Xie family had forgotten him.

There are few people in the Xie family who turn their backs on the family, even if they turn their backs, they will be ashamed of the ancestral teachings of the family, and they will leave the story to educate future generations, and they will not erase it like this.

Unless the person's very existence is a catastrophe for the family.

"Calculate the age, it should be the grandfather who was in power at that time, and let him personally erase it..."

Ming Jin turned around and left, and went to the Huayushan Manor, the former residence of the Xie family, late at night.

This night, she met an elder of the family tree of the next family.

"Shaozong?" The elder looked around carefully, for fear that someone would know, because he knew that Ming Jin came in person so late, and there must be a great secret that needed to be consulted.

"I've investigated, and there's no one around, and no one will know."

"Okay, come in quickly, I won't light the lamp, can Shaozong allow it?"

"Hmm."

He didn't light the lamp for fear that someone would notice that he was an old man who didn't sleep so late.

But in the silent night, the elder asked Ming to sit down and solemnly ask what he meant.

"I would like to ask if any of my grandfather's children have been erased."

The old man was stunned for a moment, and then lowered his head, as if he was entangled and hesitated.

"I know that my grandfather must have told the old people to keep their mouths shut and forget about this person completely, but now that the situation is urgent, I need to make sure of something."

The elder is old and has seen the world, but he is not worried, but he was silent for a moment, and said: "According to the clan rules, the patriarch is not there, and the authority of the young sect is respected, if it involves the safety of the family, there is no need to care about the deceased, unless it is the last order set by the ancestor, I can disobey the gag order of the patriarch." ”

Then, he said: "That person is your fourth grandfather, Xie Qing, when your great-grandfather was buried in the frontier, the soul was dry, and the rest were only Xie Tong and your grandfather and brothers, when your grandfather was not yet crowned, he was still young, and this Xie Qing was even younger, we were still panicked in Wuling, not to mention the three of them, they saw the most severe and dangerous situation in the capital, and later, Xie Tong and the first emperor joined forces to quell the traitors, washed away the grievances, and also took back the due honor, the first emperor ascended the throne, and your grandfather took the power of the Xie family, Xie Qing ignored Xie Tong's obstruction, and for the regret of his father, he went to the frontier, and then later.... For some reason, your grandfather erased his traces and erased the genealogy, and the answer to us is that he was unruly and intended to steal the position of patriarch and has been expelled. ”

Ming Jin's heart trembled when he heard about the frontier just now, "Frontier? Did he join the army? ”

"Yes."

"Which city have you been to?"

"That's a lot, you don't know, Xie Qing is a real young talent, his art of war is the best in the Zhao Kingdom, and he has guarded several frontier cities."

"Have you ever been to Jiaocheng?"

"Jiaocheng? I don't know, but I heard that he is very well-connected in the military department, but whenever he asks for the ordnance, the armory workshop in Jiaocheng has not delayed, which also makes him like a fish in water in the war. ”

"That's... What about Linzhou City? ”

"Linzhou City? Hey, by the way, I remember, the first city he went to was Linzhou City, which is actually understandable, because Linzhou City used to be the place where your great-grandfather and others were buried, and that battle was really tragic. ”

"Shaozong? Shaozong?"

Ming Jin came back to her senses and smiled reluctantly, and then she left the villa and entered the bleak night, standing at the tip of the treetops, she looked at the crescent moon hanging high in the sky in the distance.

Suddenly, there was scarlet in the eye sockets.

Is it true that the more you are afraid of something, the more the situation will develop?

She finally determined what the Xie family's biggest sin and secret was.

It turns out that there is really no way back.

————————

Two days later, Ming Jin met Tuoze.

The latter gave an answer.

"The Ye family has different intentions, but what they want is to invest in the Eastern War and start anew, mainly because the Ye family's concubine is extremely lobbied."

"But the Xiao family..."Tuoze looked at Ming Jin.

Ming Jin raised his eyebrows, "Xiao Yu doesn't have that brain, his father takes Xiao Yu as the first in everything, Xiao Yu is good friends with me, his father can see that he will not do such a contradictory stupid thing, but the other son may not." ”

"I understand, I will check the whereabouts of that eldest prince Xiao in the Xie family, but if the other party is really hiding in Wuling, wouldn't it be very safe for you to stay here, my lord?"

"Is there still a safe place for me?"

"Yes, Qilian Mountain, or the white-clothed Sword Snow Tower."

Ming Jin glanced at him, and the latter sneered.

"But you're right, this matter has to be considered in the long run."

So Ming Jin lay dormant in Wuling.

During this period, she investigated the secrets of Wuling and paid attention to the affairs of the frontier.

What worries her every day and reassures her is that her father seems to be fighting seriously at the moment, and the war is going well.

For the first time, she knew that her father still had such a military talent.

At this time, the frontier.

Xie Yuan looked at the terrain map, and after discussing the strategy with the generals, he suddenly frowned, reached out and took the cup on the side, and after drinking the water, he put the quilt on the table behind him casually, and waited for the generals to leave.

He took two steps on the table, Bi Er on the side hurriedly supported him, and Bi Shiyi quickly disposed of the traces in the water cup.

"My lord, you are like this..."

Xie Yuan glanced at him, and Bi Shiyi didn't dare to speak.

After sitting down, Xie Yuan pressed his heart and said lightly: "You say, is she now very afraid that I will use the entire frontier war as a flag to seek power, and she is afraid every day, but on the other hand, she is amazed that a treacherous and cunning person like her father who is greedy for power is also quite good at fighting?" ”
