The old lady of the Yuan family thought about it carefully and said: "If you insist on saying that there is a young man who likes you very much, the old man really can't think of it, but you sneaked out and fell into the river at that time, but there was a young man who rescued you, which is your life-saving benefactor, and later your uncle took the young man to live in the house for a few days, and gave him some silver and clothes when he left, which is regarded as thanking him for saving you." ”

"How old is that boy? What is your name? Yuan Qingling hurriedly asked.

"I don't remember what his name was, he was about fifteen or sixteen years old, he was a poor child, his father died early, his mother was widowed with him, and his life was very hard." The old lady racked her brains and couldn't think of any more information, and looked at her helplessly, "What are you asking for?" Does it matter? ”

Yuan Qingling said seriously: "It's more important, grandmother, you send a letter to Duanzhou, ask your uncle's family, ask this young man's name, origin, anyway, related to this young man, I want to know." ”

The old lady saw that she was so nervous, so she said: "Okay, tomorrow I will ask someone to send a letter, Duanzhou is not far away, ask someone to hurry up, you can go back and forth in a few days, you just wait." ”

Yuan Qingling said: "Okay, thank you grandmother." ”

When she returned to the palace, she informed Yu Wenhao of this.

After listening to this, Yu Wenhao said: "You say so, there is really this possibility, according to our investigation of Hongye, we found that he lived in the Northern Tang Dynasty as a teenager, her mother may be from the Northern Tang Dynasty, or it may be a person who came to settle in the Northern Tang Dynasty in Xianbei, when Hongye was taken back, her mother was killed." ”

"Killed by whom?" Yuan Qingling asked.

"Xiao Hongchen investigated and said that it was possible to be killed by the father of the Red Leaf Prince, that is, General Hong Lie."

Yuan Qingling looked at him in surprise, "You mean, Hongye Gongzi's father killed his mother?" ”

"Not sure, but it's likely."

"And when was he picked up?"

"I couldn't verify it, but when the people of Hongmei Gate investigated, they found that the people who lived next to them were all dead, and it was also possible that they were killed by Hong Lie."

Yuan Qing Ling was shocked when he heard this, "God, if it's true, what a brutal person this Hong Lie General is?" ”

Yu Wenhao sneered, "The word brutal describes him, it is really too much lighter, he is alone in Xianbei, the party is the same as the other, he controls the dynasty, even the Xianbei Emperor is just his puppet, Xianbei has produced several loyal and good people over the years, but in the end he was brutally killed, and he also punished the nine clans, his transcendent position in Xianbei today is paved with blood and heads." ”

"It's so scary!" Yuan Qingling muttered, there is really no way to imagine that a person is so brutal and ferocious, this person is still in power, do the Xianbei people still have a good life?

"The terrible thing is not that he is alone, but the entire family, the Hong Lie family is this kind of careerist, and the means are cruel, Hong Lie has been pressing on the Great Zhou step by step over the years, it seems that he wants to defeat the Great Zhou first, but I suspect that his first purpose is the Northern Tang Dynasty."

"But over the years, Xianbei and the Northern Tang Dynasty have not had a bad relationship, even the detailed infiltration, it is only a matter of the past two years, but when the general of Jingting came, he once said that Hong Lie's fine work in the Great Zhou has been for many years, and then it was handed over to the Red Leaf Gongzi to manage, why do you think that their primary purpose is the Northern Tang Dynasty?"

Yuwen Hao's eyes were heavy, "There are some things that you don't know." ”

"What's the matter?" Yuan Qingling's palms were sweaty when she heard this, and the clouds were treacherous, which was really beyond her imagination.

Yu Wenhao said: "I Emperor Wen of the Northern Tang Dynasty has half of the Xianbei bloodline, he is the grandson of the Xianbei Emperor and the woman of the Deer Country at that time, after the Xianbei infighting, killed the father of Emperor Wen, Emperor Wen followed his mother back to the Deer Country, but I don't know that the Emperor of the Deer Country is mediocre, resulting in the people living poorly, the people are unrevolted, and my Emperor Wen also joined the rebel army, and finally laid the foundation of the Northern Tang Dynasty. And the person who killed Emperor Wen's father back then was the Honglie family. The people of the Honglie family have always believed that our Northern Tang Dynasty will avenge Emperor Wen's father, destroy Xianbei, and incorporate Xianbei into the territory of the Northern Tang Dynasty. ”

Yuanqing Ling laughed and laughed, this has been a trouble for a long time, Xianbei and Beitang are actually of the same origin?

Although from Emperor Wen to the present, there is not much bloodline left.

"So, now the emperor of Xianbei is also surnamed Yuwen?"

Yuwen Hao shook his head, "No, the Yuwen family has long been destroyed, Xianbei was originally a clan, once dominated for a while, proud of the Central Plains, so it has always been Xianbei as the country name, after the Duan family destroyed the Yuwen family, it is still Xianbei to establish the country, sitting in the country so far, but the Duan family is afraid that sooner or later the surname will be changed to Hong Lie." ”

Yuan Qingling suddenly realized, "So, Emperor Duan and the people of the Honglie family all think that the Yuwen family will go back to take revenge and recapture Xianbei?" According to what you say, the first thing they want to deal with may really be the Northern Tang. ”

"That red leaf ......" Yu Wenhao frowned, "His attitude is very warm, and he seems to be absolutely loyal to General Hong Lie, but he has not changed his surname so far, and he has made many small moves in private, and it seems that he is at odds with Hong Lie's family." ”

"What is the status of this red leaf in Xianbei?" Yuan Qingling asked.

"No position, no status, although many people know that he is Hong Lie's illegitimate son, but he only stays in Xianbei as a Hong Lie strategist, and often goes to various countries to carry out activities, Hong Lie's family is actually very cruel in the struggle for power and profit, Hongye does not even have the qualifications to compete, and is often bullied by his brothers and younger brothers, Xianbei people have a general evaluation of him, but, in addition to Xianbei, he is quite famous in the other six countries."

"How is his martial arts?"

"I don't know, some people say that he doesn't know martial arts, but some people say that he has very deep martial arts, in short, there are many rumors about him in the Six Kingdoms, but no one can verify it."

Yuan Qingling looked at him, a little helpless, "If the Hong Lie family insists on being an enemy of the Northern Tang Dynasty, I'm afraid that the Northern Tang Dynasty will still be difficult to resist now, right?" ”

Yu Wenhao said: "If only Xianbei is okay, I am afraid that they will form an alliance with the Northern Desert, but fortunately, we have also formed an alliance with the Great Zhou, and the new weapons developed by the Great Zhou are much better than the Xianbei Northern Desert in terms of attack and defense." ”

After he finished speaking, he frowned again, "If we really start a real battle, we won't necessarily lose, I'm afraid of making some tricks, Hongye is good at using tricks, he came to the Northern Tang Dynasty this time, I always feel that it is not only because the military map is so simple, but also because there must be other plans." ”

"Have you sent someone to keep an eye on him?"

"Staring, except for seeing Princess Anfeng now, he doesn't do anything for the time being, as if he really came to Beitang to play."

"It's not that he didn't do anything, at least he came to our house today and said something specious." Yuan Qingling said.

Yu Wenhao looked at her, "Don't see him in the future as much as possible, even if he and that Yuan Qingling knew each other in the past, but this has nothing to do with you, you are not that person." ”

"Yes!" Yuan Qingling nodded, but he always felt awkward in his heart.
