Cold Shadow (1)
Seven days later, Xie Lan and Xuan Jinhuan went to the royal capital together, and at the same time, the people from the royal capital were also ordered to set off back to the royal capital.
In fact, several masters thought that Shangjing was too anxious at this time, and hoped that Xie Lan could stay on Qianyue Peak for a while longer; After all, he is now the commander of Yong'an, but he still doesn't know much about the Yong'an secret guard, so he hopes that he can take on his position.
However, Master Xuan proposed that when a series of things were determined in the royal capital, the duties of the Lord of Yong'an could be set aside.
So the matter of Yong'an Secret Guard in the royal capital was prepared in advance.
Xie Lan looked back at Yong'an City, with thousands of thoughts in her heart; It's really ironic to think that the reason why he came to Yong'an was to be ordered to exterminate the Yong'an secret guard, but he inexplicably became the Yong'an Commander.
"Can my funeral be grand?" Xie Lan suddenly asked Xuan Jinhuan.
Knowing the true meaning of Xie Lan's words, Xuan Jinhuan just sneered: "Naturally." Since the emperor intended to do so, of course, he wanted to be as grand as possible to show the world. ”
The two of them talked about it as if it wasn't a funeral but a wedding.
Xie Lan smiled mockingly, thought about it and asked, "Then, will Your Majesty use this as an excuse to deal with the Yongan Secret Guard." ”
"No, it won't. Throwing a rat bogey, so that the emperor will not act easily. Xuan Jinhuan shook his head and said.
"Old Man Chu said that he would enter Beijing, and Mr. Gu would also enter Beijing; If you want to come to the royal capital, you will always be uneasy. The identities of the two of them are on the table, which is enough to attract the attention of those who have evil intentions in the royal capital. Xie Lan spoke.
Old Man Chu Heng and Old Mr. Gu entered Beijing, a former head of the Chu family who traveled abroad, and a master of civil and military affairs who had lived in seclusion for many years, this is indeed a big deal.
Under such circumstances, I am afraid that some people in the royal capital will not be able to sit still.
Anything else doesn't matter at all.
"But Old Man Chu and Old Mr. Gu suddenly entered Beijing, it is not a normal thing to count, won't it make Your Majesty suspicious?" Xie Lan was a little uneasy.
"It's inevitable. So we tried to distance ourselves from the time when the two seniors entered Beijing. Xuan Jinhuan said sullenly.
I don't know what the situation is on the Wangdu side, but when I passed through Huizhou, I met someone from the Chu family, Chu Huihuan, the younger son of Chu Ning, the master of the Southern Division, that is, the youngest son of the old man Chu Heng.
Chu Huihuan stopped them from opening his mouth and asked, "Are you from the Yong'an Secret Guard?" ”
Seeing that it was someone from the Chu family, Xuan Jinhuan was a little polite: "I don't know what Your Excellency is doing?" ”
"Little girl, are you from Nansi?" Chu Huihuan hesitated for a moment and then asked again.
"I'm Toji." Xuan Jin said.
"And that's okay too. Is my father in Yong'an? Does he still want to enter Beijing? Chu Huihuan couldn't wait to ask.
Xuan Jinhuan asked rhetorically: "Where did Senior Chu get the news?" The rumors on the streets are not substantiated. ”
Chu Huihuan frowned: "This is our Chu family's family matter, don't ask so much about the little girl." ”
Seeing that Chu Huihuan wanted to get the news of Old Man Chu Heng from the Yongan Secret Guard, but instead of stopping the Yongan Secret Guard, he should go directly to his sister Chu Ning; If it weren't for the previous reasons, they would have felt that it would be too strange for Chu Huihuan to ask her an unrelated person about his father.
And how did Chu Huihuan know that they would pass through Huizhou at this time, so he waited here.
Xuan Jinhuan felt weird, and the Chu family in Huizhou was not normal.
After finally dealing with Chu Huihuan, Xie Lan asked Xuan Jinhuan: "This senior is from the Chu family in Huizhou?" ”
Xuan Jinhuan bowed: "He is the youngest son of the old man of Chu Heng and the younger brother of the master of Chu." ”
The descendants of the Chu family all stayed in Huizhou, and because of Chu Ning, the master of the Southern Division, they were also one of the eight tribes in the Central Plains who still had contacts with the Yongan Secret Guard; However, there are many heirs of the Chu family, and I am afraid that even the heirs of the Chu family may not be able to recognize their uncle.
However, after leaving Huizhou, there were no accidents.
It wasn't until they returned to the royal capital that Xuan Jinhuan and Zhu Yunqing had a private chat with Xie Lan behind their backs.
Regarding the matter of the Chu family in Huizhou, Xuan Jinhuan felt that it might be related to Nansi: "I think, Uncle Chu shouldn't want Old Man Chu to enter Beijing, right?" ”
"Now that you've guessed it, there's no need to hide anything. Old man Chu is old and unsuitable to enter Beijing again; Moreover, the king capital has a trip to troubled waters, and the old man Chu has a special identity, so it is difficult to guarantee that something will happen. Zhu Yunqing smiled and admitted, "The master of Chu asked the Chu family to stop this matter, at least to prevent the old man Chu from entering Beijing." ”
After all, Master Chu is the daughter of the old man Chu Heng, and Xuan Jinhuan can understand that he is so thoughtful about his children.
As the secret guard of Yong'an, Chu Ning is clear, and now the royal capital is a trip to troubled waters, and whoever is not afraid of death will inevitably be unlucky.
Just mentioning this, it reminded Xuan Jinhuan of some things, and asked Zhu Yunqing: "Back then, did Senior Xia ever interfere with your entry into Beijing?" ”
Zhu Yunqing didn't understand why Xuan Jinhuan asked like this, so she shook her head: "I haven't been." My mother, let me do things well, so that I can live up to the identity of Yong'an Secret Guard. ”
This sentence sounded familiar, and Xuan Jinhuan was sure that his stepmother, Master Xuan, had also told her.
"When you return to Beijing this time, will you be willing to meet Xia Xiang again?" Xuan Jinhuan said inexplicably.
"This ······" Zhu Yunqing was stunned for a moment, and then lowered her eyes, "I don't know." After all, my mother, my mother ······ on her deathbed." Obviously, the story that Xia Ruofu told Zhu Yunqing at the end about her and Xia Dan when they were young had moved Zhu Yunqing a little.
Xuan Jinhuan breathed a long sigh of relief: "In the future, I am afraid that the situation on the side of the royal capital will only be more severe for us in the future, in fact, the two seniors entered Beijing at this time, in fact, to attract the eyes that may fall on the Yong'an secret guard." Mr. Gu's entry into Beijing is related to Master Huiyuan and Mr. Haiyi, while Old Man Chu is purely to balance the situation in Beijing. ”
In the royal capital, the Ning family has obviously completely pitted the Yan and Chu families, if no one can come out to change this situation, I am afraid that the Yan and Chu families will really have to fight to the end, and then let the Ning family be the fisherman in vain.
Master Xuan told Xuan Jinhuan that after they returned to the royal capital, they would not move their troops first, and only need to meet with a few old people according to her previous instructions, and the rest of the matter would be talked about after the masters entered Beijing.
After arriving in the royal capital, Zhu Yunqing stayed in Yunyan Pavilion for one night, and entered the palace early the next morning.
Xuan Jinhuan felt that Wang Du was still boring, and the only thing that felt different was Xie Lan.
As Master Xuan said, after Emperor Chengji announced the news that King Song was dead, King Song was already dead, and Xie Lan was only the Lord of Yong'an.
