Chapter 109: A Late Night Visit

Xu Wenhui's movements were extremely fast, and Yun Zhen followed the person who was arranged to guide her, and walked for a long time, and she never ran into a guard.

The night is dark.

This person had already led her to a silent courtyard, the courtyard was plain, and it was not a courtyard across the courtyard where Yun Xiu was, but the location was slightly off.

There's nothing special about it, and at a glance you know it's just for entertaining guests.

The man who led the way didn't speak, but stood at the door and bowed slightly, inviting Yun Zhen to go in alone.

Walking up the steps, Yun Zhen's figure paused slightly, raised his head, and glanced around the black-brown wooden plaque.

There seemed to be something faintly at the bottom of her eyes, and it quickly precipitated, and Yun Zhen vaguely felt that the name of this courtyard was a little familiar.

The courtyard is very quiet and silent, if it weren't for the little lights exposed between the cracks in the door, the black lights blind, can't help but be creepy.

Yun Zhen's footsteps turned, and she stopped in front of the leaking door, stretched out her hand and pushed the door open, and a faint musty smell came to her face.

Although this yard is cleaned all year round, it is rarely inhabited, so it is a little less popular.

The lights in the room were dim, Yun Zhen's eyes narrowed slightly, and she quietly glanced around the room, but found no trace of anyone, and thought carefully for a moment.

She finally reached out and picked up the only lamp in the room, and walked around the room.

The room is separated by nine stacks of cloud brocade screens, and there are very ordinary tables and chairs of the Eight Immortals outside, and the inner room inside is simple and there is not even a table and chair, which is very simple.

After Yun Zhen glanced around, she finally saw a pitch-black longbow that had been hanging on the wall, and then suddenly realized.

Thinking of this courtyard, it is the courtyard where Sikong Ao lived in Xu Mansion in the past.

Old lady Xu asked people to bring her here, could it be that she knew the purpose of her trip?

Take this opportunity to remind her?

Just as Yun Zhen was constantly wondering what Old Lady Xu meant in her heart, there was a sound of gradually approaching footsteps behind her.

Along with the sound of footsteps, there was a strange sound of hitting the ground.

Yun Zhen carefully identified it for a moment, and then guessed the source of the sound.

At last the footsteps stopped in front of the half-hidden door, which was pushed open with a cane in his hand.

Old lady Xu squinted his eyes, and he didn't move in a hurry when he stood at the door, but after watching Yun Zhen come out of the inner room with the lamp in his hand, he stepped forward without knowing it, and gradually approached the table and chairs.

"I don't know what the county lord is visiting late at night?"

Yun Zhen was slightly stunned when she heard this, but she felt that she was very familiar with what she was saying.

The corners of her lips hooked slightly, she reached out and put the candlestick in her hand on the table, and then reached out to pull out a chair for Old Lady Xu.

Old lady Xu glanced down slightly, raised her eyebrows, sat down, and sighed faintly. "After all, as soon as people get older, their eyesight is not good, thank you to the county lord."

Yun Zhen remembered the meeting with Mrs. Xu a few months ago, and then the dim lights, looking at Mrs. Xu's every move, her eyebrows raised slightly, and she couldn't help but secretly say in her heart, Old Lady Xu didn't look like an old man with dizzy eyes.

The face is confused, but the bottom of this heart is like a mirror.

Otherwise, how could someone lure her here?

It's just that this slander is slander, Yun Zhen is still very measured, and she didn't show it on her face, she smiled slowly and said. "What did Old Lady Xu say?"

"You're welcome."

Old lady Xu shook her beard, but she didn't say anything after all.

For a while, the room was silent, Old Lady Xu didn't speak, and Yun Zhen straightened up slightly, as if she was looking at the surrounding scene.

Old lady Xu lifted her eyelids and said lightly. "What? The county lord came to visit late at night, saying that he had something important to discuss with the old man. ”

"Now, it doesn't matter much?"

Old lady Xu took advantage of the situation and slapped her waist and sighed. "Once this person is old, his body will not be able to do it, and he needs to sleep peacefully, so the county lord will say it directly."

Since Old Lady Xu opened her mouth like this, Yun Zhen couldn't beat around the bush anymore, although she didn't know where Old Lady Xu's inexplicable hostility came from.

But after all, he has also had a few intersections with Mrs. Xu.

knew that if she dragged it out any longer, Old Lady Xu would be more and more impressed with her.

Yun Zhen pondered for a moment and said thoughtfully. "Old lady Xu has always been an understanding person."

It's just that she started her head, and then she heard Old Lady Xu suddenly interrupt her words impatiently. "The old man is old, and I have heard enough of these flatteries in this life, so there is no need for the county lord to say these words anymore."

Yun Zhen's words were deliberately choked by Old Lady Xu, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, this Old Lady Xu's temperament can be said to be more and more weird.

"Since the old lady is happy, Yun Zhen will not beat around the bush." Yun Zhen said.

"The situation in Kyoto is changing, and it must not be hidden from Old Lady Xu." Yun Zhen saw that Old Lady Xu opened her mouth to say something, and hurriedly opened her mouth to add another sentence, blocking the old naughty boy's words directly. "Old lady Xu's prestige in the court is incomparable to others, so the old lady should not be arrogant."

Old lady Xu originally wanted to choke Yun Zhen, but she was so flattered by her, no matter how thick his old face was, it was not good to make it difficult for Yun Zhen, but then he just snorted, which was considered to be accepted.

Seeing that Old Lady Xu didn't speak again, Yun Zhen unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, her eyes sank slightly, and she finally pointed out the purpose of coming tonight.

"The current situation of King Zhennan, Old Lady Xu is afraid that he understands it very well."

Hearing this, it was the old lady Xu who felt a pang in his heart when he saw Yun Zhen, if he didn't know that Yun Zhen had rescued all the descendants of the Zhao Mansion from the Tiger Prison and placed them properly, it could be regarded as barely having a little thin face.

Old Lady Xu didn't want to be involved with Yun Zhen.

What kind of scene is in Kyoto now, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the crown prince will hold an enthronement ceremony at the beginning of next month, if it weren't for some major changes.

The position of the prince is supported by the right minister, and he can do it steadily.

At the beginning, the right minister returned to his hometown and province, and the regent controlled the government with one hand, and he was afraid that there would be a change, and if the wind direction was wrong, the vassal kings of all walks of life could rise up and make a name for the Qing monarch, and it was not impossible to grasp the young prince in his hand.

And now, the prince has the support of the right minister, and the army has also taken advantage of Sikong Ao's return to Beijing to support a force.

This throne, I'm afraid it will sit firmly.

King Tokuwai's stay in Kyoto for so long is self-evident in his ambition.

At this cusp, Yun Zhen came to the door with all her might, and in the eyes of Mrs. Xu, it was not right, so Mo said that his attitude was not right tonight, if it wasn't for thinking of Zhao Xiang's thin face, Yun Zhen Mo said that he wanted to see him, or he drove her out, and no one dared to say anything.

"County Lord, what is the situation?" It's just that after all, he has been in officialdom for most of his life, and where he should pretend to be stupid, Mrs. Xu is not ambiguous.

Yun Zhen was not surprised by Old Lady Xu's attitude, after all, in his opinion, Xu Fu could stay out of the matter now, so why should he be involved in these things?

It's just that since Yun Zhen came to the door today, she has made up her mind, that is, she can't persuade Old Lady Xu, and she must not let Old Lady Xu stand on the wrong side without knowing it.

"How long has the king of Zhennan returned to Beijing, the border army has been in chaos several times, and in the chaos, several generals have died, and it is so coincidental that those generals have been born and died with the king of Zhennan." The corners of Yun Zhen's lips hooked slightly.

"It's only been more than two months, if it wasn't carefully planned before, how could it be so coincidental?"

"Old Lady Xu was also the person in charge of the army before, so she never thought about this section?" Yun Zhen knew very well in her heart that Old Lady Xu just didn't want to take a stand in front of her, where was it really old and dizzy.

Sometimes, outsiders see it better than anyone else.

Old Lady Xu knew in her heart that Yun Zhen's words would have a follow-up, so she didn't interrupt Yun Zhen silently, but just sat quietly.

The years have left indelible marks on his face, and when he is expressionless, even Yun Zhen can't tell what he is thinking.

She didn't expect Old Lady Xu to take the initiative to speak, and the topic changed abruptly. "Since this can't be a temporary idea, it must have been planned before."

"As soon as Princess Huasang died, the news was transmitted back to the border, the king of Zhennan returned to Beijing to mourn, and the right minister returned to his hometown and province.

"Such a clever means." Yun Zhen thought about it carefully, if she said that Li Jingrui was involved in the matter of Zuo Xiang, and she could do it so vigorously and resolutely, she would have no doubts, and Li Jingrui had some skills, she still knew it.

It's just that the right minister is provincial, and he took advantage of this time to seize the military power of the king of Zhennan, let him hold a tiger talisman in the air, and imprisoned him in Kyoto in disguise.

If this is Hua Zijing's plan alone, she will never believe it.

If Hua Zijing had such a mind and planned so meticulously, why did he have to join forces with Li Jingrui to get rid of her?

also left Li Jingrui to know at a glance that it was not a good look, a wolf that was easy to control? Let him hold him hostage for months?

If this is the case, the only thing that can be explained is that all this was planned by someone for Hua Zijing.

Now seeing that the right minister supports Hua Zijing like this, the person behind the curtain is nine times out of ten that he is him.

However, what made Yun Zhen think was that during her lifetime, the right side was very dissatisfied with Hua Zijing, and there were many difficulties, and the relationship with Hua Zijing was not harmonious, so although Yun Zhen had this idea in the past, she did not suspect the right minister.

Looking at it now, the right minister and Hua Zijing were competing against each other at that time?

I'm afraid it's a scene?

If this is the case, then how long has this bureau been arranged?

Thinking of this possibility, Yun Zhen only felt that her body was cold, and it was nothing to be planted in the hands of Hua Zijing and Li Jingrui.
