Chapter 257: The Bottom
Chen Tongsheng and his party did not succeed in reaching Kyoto.
On the second day, Ji Ying woke up, and neither Chen Tongsheng nor Song Chuanbai really fell asleep.
Song Chuanbai came out of Chen Tongsheng's room, and talked to Fan Rui in the side room for half a night, as soon as the next person came to report, he immediately pulled out his feet and walked out, listened to the next person talk about the situation, and then ordered: "Don't tell Kiryu about this matter first......
Before he finished speaking, he raised his head, Chen Tongsheng happened to pass through the oblique, and his clothes were changed into a new set, which was still neat and easy to move, Song Chuanbai was unexpectedly distracted in his heart, and spontaneously sighed a pity.
Chen Tongsheng is a good-looking person with heavy makeup and glamorous makeup, but unfortunately I don't see her dressed up every day, always wearing a short dozen casual clothes, I always feel almost meaningful, it seems that I saw her wearing a goose yellow skirt before, and she still deliberately wore it for the sake of clichΓ©s, and it is not a dress at all, and it does not match her gorgeous facial features.
Chen Tongsheng blinked, stood still, and asked, "Don't tell me anything?" β
"Ji Ying woke up," Song Chuanbai had no choice but to tell the truth, he walked over to Chen Tongsheng while speaking, and the subordinate who reported the news behind him wanted to follow, but Fan Rui pulled him, and he slowed down his pace with a look, and the two subordinates walked a few steps behind.
"I want to wait until you wake up tomorrow to talk about it, so as not to disturb your rest." Song Chuanbai looked at her face carefully: "Didn't you drink wine, why can't you sleep?" Your face is really bad. β
Chen Tongsheng said: "I fell asleep and woke up again." β
"I didn't sleep well."
Chen Tongsheng nodded and said, "It's not very comfortable, I'll wake up after a sleep." How is Ji Ying? β
Song Chuanbai said: "It is said that he was in a trance after waking up, but I don't know how it is." He gestured backwards.
Fan Rui hesitated for a moment, then instructed the subordinates around him for a while, and sent them out.
The room that Song Chuanbai pointed out to Ji Ying was really not very good, and Chen Tongsheng even wondered if there was a suspicion of Song Chuanbai's personal vendetta in this room when he entered. But after the approximate location in his brain, Chen Tongsheng quickly reacted, the location of this room is quite well arranged, that is, between the three positions of Song Chuanbai, Chen Tongsheng, and the night patrol personnel, no matter from which direction, if you want to go to Ji Ying's room, you must pass through these three positions.
Chen Tongsheng is still satisfied with this arrangement, she hates Song Chuanbai the most for doing anything to exclude her, and she is still good for her in words, as if she thinks more about her. Song Chuanbai's problem is quite difficult to change, but now it is finally changing--- at least for her.
Ji Ying sat on the edge of the bed with his hands on his head, his clothes were crumpled, and when he heard the voice, he raised his head, his eyes were bloodshot.
"What do you think of it now?" Chen Tongsheng asked.
Ji Ying looked at her for a while as if she didn't know her, and said softly to herself in a half-loud voice, "It's not my sister." β
"No," Chen Tongsheng nodded and repeated, "I'm not her." β
Ji Ying also nodded, then closed his eyes, Chen Tongsheng and Song Chuanbai glanced at each other, Ji Ying seemed to calm down and didn't talk nonsense, and said slowly: "The person who suddenly broke in to find me is a puppet, I don't know him." β
Song Chuanbai said: "You may be able to tell if it is Yu Su's or someone else?" β
Ji Ying frowned------ Chen Tongsheng felt that his wrinkle was not because of the question, but because of the person who asked the question......
Sure enough, Ji Ying directly ignored Song Chuanbai's words, closed his eyes and asked Chen Tongsheng: "Do you have any opinion on this?" β
Chen Tongsheng shook his head in his heart and said, "You have fought with that person, you should know it." β
"You've fought too."
"I couldn't even burn it at that time, it's good to be able to move, do you remember what the other party is?" Chen Tongsheng said: "He is a couple, why did he come to you?" Would I like to share with you about your experience as a couple? β
Ji Ying thought for a while and said, "That person is holding a letter in his hand, I only remember that I opened it and read it...... And he fainted. β
"What is written in the letter?"
Ji Ying opened his eyes, his eyes were still fixed on Chen Tongsheng, and said, "I don't recognize it, bring a pen and paper." The last sentence is addressed to Song Chuanbai.
Fan Rui was just behind, where did he dare to let Hou Ye be so angry, hurriedly came up to get the paper and grind, peeked at Song Chuanbai's expression, and saw that he didn't have much expression, but he was very disdainful and didn't bother to take care of him. Ji Ying stepped on the ground directly in her socks and walked over, closed her eyes for a while, and wrote a paragraph.
said that it was a paragraph, because the font written by Ji Ying was not as clear and distinct as the words of Da Zhou Yayan, but the words were glued to each other, like a string of characters.
Chen Tongsheng walked over and took a look at it and recognized it: "It's Lingyu." β
The Lingyu used by the people of the Northern Dynasties, Chen Tongsheng's memory of the Lingyu is not clear, her more than ten years in the Great Zhou, plus the previous chaotic decades, to a certain extent, diluted her memory as a little nobleman of the Northern Dynasties, she lowered her head and looked at it for a while, and said uncertainly: "Gala......"
Ji Ying suddenly looked up at Chen Tongsheng and said, "Do you recognize it?" β
"Recognize some," Chen Tongsheng's gaze stopped at the words written by Ji Ying: "Do you remember anything else?" β
Ji Ying drew a few more strokes with his memory, but it was no longer formed, and said, "I can't remember it clearly." β
"Gala," Chen Tongsheng's fingers brushed lightly over the black ink, giving rise to a little rusty nostalgia, and muttered softly.
Ji Ying seemed to look at her incredulously, his gaze wandering between her lips and the words she had written.
"Gala...... Bear....... Dead ......." Chen Tongsheng sighed: "I can't see it, I don't know what it means." You also have a bad memory, and your temper is not small. β
Ji Ying was displeased and said, "I only took a look." β
At present, it is very clear that there is a person in the shadows, who has obvious Northern Dynasty blood, understands the Northern Dynasty language, and even has the ability to turn people into puppets like Chen Tongsheng.
Chen Tongsheng's first suspicion at present was the person named Kong Shun, she turned her head and asked Song Chuanbai, "Has that Kong Shun been found?" β
This was actually asking Fan Rui, who shook his head at Chen Tongsheng, meaning that there was no news yet.
Chen Tongsheng was almost done asking, so he said to let Ji Ying rest, and the two withdrew.
When he came to the door, he was facing a person who came over with a bowl, and Chen Tongsheng saw that it was the person who had been sent out for some reason, and when he got closer, Chen Tongsheng saw that it was a bowl of crisp cheese.
Song Chuanbai took it and handed it to her, saying, "Let's talk about it after eating." β
It turned out that he had brought her cheese.
Chen Tongsheng ate two bites, and the two walked to a secluded place alone, Chen Tongsheng swallowed the cheese in his mouth, and said, "I've been thinking about which one of the other people is more likely than Jiang Liyan." β
Song Chuanbai waited for her answer and listened to her: "But for so long, I always have different feelings about different couples, and when facing Ji Ying, I can also feel that he is not Yu Yu's puppet." And I have been in Kyoto for so long before, but I have never seen Jiang Liyan's occasion. β
Jiang Liyan's position is also unclear now, but judging from what he did before, Chen Tongsheng feels that it is unlikely that he will use a puppet. Regardless of whether he has the ability to turn people into puppets, in the way Chen Tongsheng saw it from the illusion before, Jiang Liyan has never shown that he has this ability, but he has always used quite complicated means and methods to do the matter of exchanging the tanuki for the prince.
Then it is very likely to be Kong Shun.
As a member of the Kong family, especially the third son of the Kong family who had never heard of leaving Fengmen Pass, Song Chuanbai also added a little news about Kong Shun to her, he was born frail and sickly, not too obvious, and did not do anything practical about the young son.
In terms of identity, status, and ability, in the current view, he can't even compare to Kong Meng, not to mention that the Kong family values the virtuous rather than the relatives, if General Kong has something to do, he will send trustworthy and capable people.
Why bother to send the third son of his family who usually doesn't listen to things outside the window at this critical juncture when the situation is about to be chaotic?
The Confucian family is not rich in heirs, and the descendants are General Kong, Kong Meng, and Kong Shun, since the Kong family has set up one, and sent one to Kyoto, some far-sighted families, especially those who are not in the center of power like Kyoto, should understand the truth of capital preservation, how much first put the marriage of several sons in the open, leave an heir, since there are two errands in the court, this three sons who have no talent, should worry more about the clan industry. In the future, it is convenient to move.
At the beginning, the Fang family was dedicated to guarding the frontier for the imperial court, and in the end, even the corpses were collected in a desolate manner, Fang Ming stood alone in front of the graves of relatives in the clan, and the relatives in the family either served in the military in other places, or they were still killed in battle, and there was no one before and after.
This is the fate that will not leave a way for himself, but the Fang family is a family of military generals, and it stands to reason that there is no need to do these clever things, but the Confucian family has no background, status, and merits that can be sustained.
The Fang family is in a special situation, otherwise if something happens again, the names of General Fang and Empress Fang back then will be enough to save the lives of future generations when an accident occurs.
Song Chuanbai himself went against the empress again, and there was always a silent but stable general father behind him, and a mother with a ruthless personality who was the eldest princess. Therefore, anyone with a discerning eye can see that his foundation is actually very stable, even if he really angers Zhou Guanzhao, strips him of his official position, and teaches him to be an idler, he can continue to influence the affairs of the DPRK and China with these.
In many cases, whether a family can stand or not, and whether it can stand in the long run, depends on whether there is a person in these families who can sit still.
Most of the time it has to be an old man with prestige and merit.
The Kong family does not have this foundation, so they are quite honest and low-key, and they are very unpopular among the famous families in Kyoto, and the Kong family itself knows it.
Therefore, Kong Shun's task should be to preserve, not to come to the rocky mountain in the eyes of all parties in a time of danger.
