Chapter 30: The Qin Family
Xiao Heng raised his head, looked at the big word "Jingzhou" on the city gate, and exhaled a long breath.
During this period of time, his second brother never stopped chasing and killing, forcing him to drill into the deep mountains and old forests, hide from east to west, and go around in a big circle before arriving in Jingzhou. There was a wanted notice for him posted next to the city gate, and they didn't dare to make any changes, so they decided to camp outside Jingzhou City first and wait for the evening before making an operation.
The moon is dark and the wind is high, several black figures melt into the night, and vigorous figures shuttle through the dense forest. When he came to a river that was as black as ink, he jumped down, and he didn't make a splash.
After a while, bubbles bubbled on the surface of a small lake in an inn. A few people squatted in the corner, saw that there was movement, walked to the lake and pulled up a few people in the water, it was Xiao Heng Yunhuai and the two brothers.
In the first two days, their people entered the city first, and now Xiao Heng entered the city through the moat. Circling around, I came to a nondescript house. There was a person squatting in front of the door, and when he saw someone coming, he squinted and looked at it, making sure that it was he who opened the door and put it in, and looked left and right vigilantly when he closed the door.
The people who entered the city first passed some information to Xiao Heng, and now the situation of the Qin family is slowly unclear, and they are vacillating between the emperor and him, so if they rush to visit now, they may put themselves in a dangerous situation. Xiao Heng decided to rest for a day first, and let Yun Huai go to test the situation tomorrow. Although Yunhuai's brothers belong to the Qin family, they actually obey the first queen, but now the two parties are inconsistent, so they naturally choose the first queen and stand on Xiao Heng's side.
When Xiao Heng was about to go to bed, he suddenly found it difficult to sleep. The shadow of his own lady appeared in front of his eyes again. After all, it has been more than a month since the two parted, and because he has not stabilized, Shen Muyao did not dare to write to him recklessly. Xiao Heng thought of this in his heart, and silently made up his mind: to deal with things quickly, if you don't see each other, you must at least have a letter to tell about the pain of lovesickness.
The lady must have arrived in Gusu now and lived a stable life, right? I don't know if she lives well, but has she always missed him? Thinking about it, he slowly sank into sleep.
On the day, Yunhuai went to Qin's house and saw Qin Mushan, the head of the Qin family. In the side hall, Yun Huai half-knelt behind a man: "Family master, the fifth prince Xiao Heng has arrived in Jingzhou City, I wonder if you want to see him?" ”
The man turned around and thought for a while: "I won't see him for the time being, let him find a yard in the house and live first." ”
Hearing this, it was obvious that he didn't see Xiao Heng's thoughts. Yun Huai reported these to Xiao Heng, and he frowned slightly: "Qin Mushan is an old fox, hanging at both ends, and he still thinks that his Qin family has prospered in the past?" Dream on. ”
Since the death of the first emperor and the suicide of the first queen, the Qin family, which was originally mixed, has also declined. According to his information, the emperor is ready to pull out the main bones of the Qin family in the court one by one, and the Qin family will slowly disappear from the political arena.
This kind of defeat without knowing it is the most deadly. But because of this, Xiao Heng has greater confidence that the Qin family will be on his side, and this mother family, who was once the queen, will be squeezed out of the last use.
He was suddenly startled by such a dark thought of his own. No matter what the Qin family said, they also had a life-saving grace for him, but now he wants to be so ungrateful, is it inappropriate?
He didn't dare to think about it, noticed that Yun Huai was still waiting for his reply, and said, "Last time, we got the secret report that the emperor wanted to cut the Qin family, is there any evidence?" Is it authentic? ”
Yun Huai replied: "The news is true, the people we planted in the palace got a secret letter, asking someone to intercept and kill the current second son of the Xu family, the current squire of the military department, so as to blame the Qin family and pull them off the horse." ”
Xiao Heng nodded: "Help me prepare, I will be in Qin Mushan for a while tonight." ”
The Qin family received the favor brought by the first queen, and now the first queen leans on the emperor as soon as she leaves, such a cold-hearted family is not worthy of his sympathy.
