Chapter 22—The Capital of Departure (Part I)
Kong Hong's words were not finished, the city gate of Luoshu County not far in front of him opened at this time, and the two brothers and sisters Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan now clearly saw the appearance of a general who walked out quickly with a sword in his hand at the gate of Luoshu County in front of him. This general is none other than Xia Chengjie, the current governor of Luoshu County. Xia Chengjie's white armor looked particularly translucent and shiny in the moonlight, and he was walking briskly towards here at this time. Kong Hong walked over with a smile, Yin Yin smiled and smiled: "Uncle Chengjie, don't say it, I really miss you all the time!"
Xia Chengjie laughed, and he also smiled and said, "Yes, Hong'er, I miss you very much! It's just because the responsibility of guarding Luoshu County is too heavy now." I don't have time to go back to the city to see you, and I don't have time to go back to the city of Thorn to see the master. This is also something I've been thinking about lately, I thought that I would be able to take a break in the time before the beginning of spring this New Year, but I didn't expect you to come here, this is really my lucky day. ”
Kong Hong knows Xia Chengjie very well, after all, this is the help and assistance she has always given her when she was a child, and she is even willing to help her resist a lot of blame and blame from her father and mother in many cases. Although it is difficult for the two of them to see each other now because of the passage of time, the relationship between them is still very deep, and even they are friends who talk about everything as soon as possible. Except for some age differences, there is almost no other gap between them. Kong Hong's face also showed a knowing smile, "Uncle Xia Cheng, I miss you very much." Of course, not only me, but also my sister and father are also thinking about you. It's just that now my sister's identity is more special, and my father also has important things to do. I'm one of the more people who doesn't have anything to do, haha."
Xia Chengjie smiled and said, "However, for now, let's hurry up and enter Luoshu County first, and I'll arrange a place for you to rest." We still have time to talk slowly. However, I really want to know, why did you sneak out again?" After speaking, Xia Chengjie pressed the sword with one hand and guided Kong Hong with the other, wanting her to follow him into Luoshu County in front of him.
Kong Hong's delicate face suddenly showed a rather helpless expression, and she smiled slightly embarrassedly and said, "Uncle Chengjie, I actually brought two friends. The main reason why I sneaked out this time was because these two friends, I met when I was a kid and had met when I was a kid, but we hadn't seen each other for a while because they lived in Yangcheng when they were kids. Because their families were relatively poor, they didn't leave Yangcheng like this when they were young. This time, they took advantage of the end of the civil war this time, they wanted to come to the city to see the prosperity of this foreign capital, I wonder what Uncle Chengjie thinks of this joint now?"
Kong Hong's words were very soft, and in some ways he was not too confident, but Xia Chengjie in front of him sighed silently and comforted Kong Hong with a smile and said: "I don't need to worry about this at this time, I can't believe you who you are? Besides, now His Royal Highness King Che has released the news that he is preparing to celebrate the New Year with an early curfew. Now I believe that His Royal Highness King Che will not care too much about these things. Alright, call your friends, let's go in together, the weather is no joke right now. It's cold."
Kong Hong's nose twitched slightly, and she sighed silently, "It's just that this kind of situation may end up with something not very good, and it's not a good thing for these things to be caught by others." Xia Chengjie smiled slightly, "Your kindness to me, I will not be able to repay it even if I die, Hong'er, why do you want to tell me these things? Isn't this a little outlier? Besides, as a general who is not afraid of shadows, do I still care about the slander of these villains?" Kong Hong's mood also became better, she turned around with a smile, and looked behind her, Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, two brothers and sisters who looked at the situation in front of her with a very keen gaze but with some surprise.
She walked over and said with a smile, "Okay, we're done with our situation now, we can go in and find out." Although the two siblings Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan didn't know what Kong Hong and the governor Xia Chengjie said, at least they already knew that the relationship between Kong Hong and this Xia Chengjie at this moment must be unusual, so Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan The two siblings nodded lightly, anyway, they knew that in the territory of the Chen family of the royal family, if they wanted to understand the surrounding situation as quickly as possible, the most important thing they needed to do was to follow Kong Hong and continue to move forward.
At this moment, there is no one scattered on the street that has been curfew, and under the circumstances shown at this moment, Xia Chengjie took Kong Hong and Feng Yuchong Feng Shanshan into Luoshu County, and they have come to the Luoshu County Governor's Mansion where Xia Chengjie is located. There are not too many people in this governor's mansion, only a few guards and maids close to Xia Chengjie live here, Xia Chengjie is in his early forties this year, but he still has no intention of marrying. Kong Hong has liked to talk about this matter since she was a child, and she has always liked to use this matter to tease Xia Chengjie. And every now and then, Xia Chengjie would smile silently and bitterly, saying that he couldn't forget someone, a person who made him unforgettable in his life, so he didn't plan to marry again.
Kong Hong doesn't pay attention to these things now, the most critical thing in her heart is to be able to solve the biggest dilemma in front of her, how to find ways to help Chen Xinyu solve the most serious dilemma in front of her. At the same time, Kong Hong is still secretly looking for someone who can support him, among them, this Xia Chengjie doesn't even need to be wooed, his loyalty to Chen Xuan, the head of the royal Chen family, is far less loyal than his loyalty to their Kong family. Although Chen Xuan also valued him, and even gave him such honors and honors, Kong Hong was very confident in his heart, once he really clarified this matter, Xia Chengjie would still choose to support their Kong family.
Now, the most important thing is to find a way to persuade his father, and then wait for the situation to become clearer and choose to support the orthodox departure. In that case, Xia Chengjie will support her unconditionally no matter what. So now, Kong Hong's eyes have also left this Luoshu County, and cast on the other three other county towns, once she can find the support of these four counties, I am afraid that when she really waits for the day when she leaves the country and sends troops, their situation will become dominant. If this is really the case, I am afraid that if I want to solve the dilemma in front of me, the decision I can make directly may not be able to hide Xia Chengjie in front of me.
Therefore, after careful consideration on this part of the road, Kong Hong finally decided to directly solve the situation in front of him to the final stage, that is, to explain the situation directly to Xia Chengjie. Once the situation is clear, I am afraid that there is no complete certainty that it will cause Xia Chengjie's suspicion and alienation, but Kong Hong is confident that Xia Chengjie will definitely support her. This is because Xia Chengjie is the only one who knows that she actually knows Chen Xinyu, the empress of Shengde who has left the country, and secretly assists Chen Xinyu against the royal Chen family, but he did not make this matter clear, but silently provided her with some convenience. It is precisely for such reasons that Kong Hong is still relatively confident. After returning to the governor's mansion, Xia Chengjie arranged the accommodation of Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, two siblings, and then he came to a small courtyard prepared for Kong Hong alone. When he walked into the room, his eyes immediately stopped at the back of Kong Hong, who was thinking about some questions with his hands behind his back to the moon. Xia Chengjie couldn't help but smile in a low voice, "It looks like he's worried."
Kong Hong came to her senses, she took a deep breath, and after a while of fighting between kung fu and spirit, she finally decided to explain it to Xia Chengjie here. She forced a wry smile and expression, she smiled and arched her hand to Xia Chengjie and said, "Uncle Chengjie, I want to tell you the most important thing. Now I'm afraid you know the news."
Xia Chengjie sighed silently, he actually knew what this matter was, but this was exactly the situation that made him very helpless and entangled, so he had been reluctant to face this situation. But now Kong Hong's words are obvious, and it is clear that he has to directly explain what is going on. So, Xia Chengjie wanted to hear how Kong Hong would talk to him about the specific content of this matter now.
Naturally, Kong Hong sat opposite him, and after taking a deep breath, Kong Hong said slowly: "Uncle knows, although I am now the wife of Zhao Ling, the general of the Chen family of the imperial family, and the youngest daughter of the Kong family, one of the four great families of the Chen family, but in fact, I am more optimistic about leaving the country because I established a good personal relationship with Empress Shengde last time." After all, in the eyes of almost all the people on the Xuanling Continent, the Chen family of the royal family was just a family in the country. What they are doing now is rebellion, if the current situation can clearly prove the people's will, the condescending people of the royal Chen family will know that they do not have the support of the people, but only have these military forces and the three major families to assist them, I think my uncle should be very clear about this." Xia Chengjie nodded silently, these things are invisible to the superiors, but as a person who has worked hard step by step from the ordinary people at the bottom, he knows this thing very well. The royal Chen family is not orthodox, and it has lost its orthodox name in the competition. This may not seem serious, but in fact, it is an extremely important matter.
