Chapter 60: The Hidden Enemy

The moon is like a hook, hooking people's heartstrings.

Chang Wan was in a daze in the room facing the candle flame, and Peony said, "Master, there is a moon tonight, can you go and see it?" ”

Chang Wan still didn't make a sound, she heard Peony's words, she just didn't want to speak, because she always couldn't figure out one question, that is, she was poisoned, who was the most beneficial and harmful to whom?

She said in her heart: "If you want to talk about the disadvantages, for the Nine Princes, it is just one less chess piece, and you must know that I am the one who is the Nine Princes to do this; To say that the biggest impact is the General's Mansion, that is, the greatest impact on the general, but who wants to target the general? The Nine Princes just want to get the support of the general's troops, and the same is true for the prince, because the general has a lot of power in his hands, he just wants to use the general's power to attack the other party, even if the general doesn't support it, there is no need to destroy him. Who wants the general to be defeated? If the general loses, who will be in the best interest? ”

She thought stupidly, there is another point, why did the Nine Princes just be stripped of their fiefdoms, and they were followed by Gu, what is the connection between the two?

"Master, would you like to have some tea?"

A cup of tea was served in Mudanjiang, Chang Wan reached out and took the teacup, took a sip, and put it down again, without looking at Peony in the whole process, and without saying a word to her.

Peony was very worried when she saw her master in a daze, and she didn't know what she was stimulating, and she didn't know what to do.

At this time, she often told her, "Peony, go to the door of the general's room and wait for the general, and if you don't wait until you don't come back, you will say that it is my intention." ”

As soon as Peony's front foot left, Chang Wan took out something from the drawer, it was a jade whistle given to her by Guan Duyuan, if something happened to blow the jade whistle, he would come as soon as he heard the jade whistle.

Sure enough, not long after the jade whistle blew, a handsome person climbed in through the back window.

Chang Wan said: "General, you are here!" ”

Guan Duyuan said: "As soon as I heard your jade whistle, I came." What about peonies? ”

Chang Wan said again: "Don't worry, general, I will take the peony away, go to the door of the general's study and wait, and say that you must ask the general to come, this should be outside the corridor of the general's study." ”

Guan Duyuan said: "It's okay! It's not that I'm not worried about you, it's not that I'm worried about Peony, she is also a person from the Nine Princes, if I know that you and I have joined forces now, I'm afraid that there will be branches, and the night will be long and dreamy......"

She hurriedly explained: "The general doesn't need to worry too much, Chang Wan understands, and Chang Wan also means this." ”

Chang Wan asked Guan Duyuan to sit down, and served a cup of tea, and the two started talking.

He asked, "Did you have any clues when you called me over?" ”

Chang Wan adjusted her tone slightly, as if she was worried.

He added, "If you find something, don't be afraid to tell me." ”

Chang Wan poured out a sigh, "General, after thinking about it, there are two things that I have never been able to figure out. ”

He made a deferential gesture, "Tell me, let's see if you and I can think of one place." ”

She said seriously: "The first point is, why do you want to give me Gu? The second point is, if my Gu incident is exposed, who will be the most beneficial and harmful? ”

Guan Duyuan looked at Chang Wan calmly, he didn't expect that the person who was arrogant and domineering in the past could now be so thoughtful, and he didn't see the wrong person.

She continued: "I can't figure it out, just now, I found that these two doubts have something in common, so I asked the general to come over and analyze it. ”

Guan Duyuan took a sip of tea, "Oh? What a common method. ”

Chang Wan said: "On the surface, I am a member of the General's Mansion, if something goes wrong with me, the first thing that will be affected is the General's Mansion, which will have the greatest impact on the General." ”

Guan Duyuan's brows began to tighten.

She continued, "I'm secretly the Ninth Prince's man, oh, I mean before. If something happens to me, the Nine Princes will naturally be affected, but it is only a few chess pieces, far less than the impact on the general. ”

Guan Duyuan's brows tightened a little, pondered for a moment, and then said, "But what this chess piece has to guard is what everyone wants!" ”

Chang Wan sat upright, her right thumb and index finger kept rubbing the knuckle of her left finger, "But don't forget, general, you have to know that I am a chess piece!" ”

Guan Duyuan adjusted his sitting posture, he was leaning back before, but now he was sitting in danger, "You mean the Nine Princes?" I'm certainly not going to shoot myself in the foot. ”

Chang Wan shook her head, "It's unlikely, the Nine Princes have been grounded, and if he wants to turn over, he will never give up his chess pieces." ”

Guan Duyuan hurriedly asked, "Are you saying that your identity has been exposed, and there are other people who know?" ”

Chang Wan's face did not change, and said: "There is only one possibility, the only people who know my identity are the Nine Kings and the General, and the Nine Kings and the General will not seek disadvantage for themselves." So, there is a third person who knows, or there is a fourth person......"

As soon as these words came out, Guan Duyuan didn't feel numb in his heart, he never thought that Chang Wan's identity was more than just known to him, no wonder there had been no clues, after checking for so long, he was still like a headless fly. At the same time, I also feel terrible, who is hiding so deeply, is it in the house or outside?

He hurriedly asked, "As far as you can see, are you from inside the house or from outside the house?" ”

She was a little embarrassed, "General, I haven't figured this out yet, it's possible inside and outside the house." ”

Guan Duyuan pondered for a while, he was shocked by the news.

Chang Wan continued the previous words and said: "If something happens to me, it will have the greatest impact on the general, whether it is open or secret. If the general is affected, who will benefit the most? Whoever benefits the most will be the most suspicious. And this person must be very aware of the relationship between the Nine Kings, the General, and me, and may know even more. ”

There was a dead silence, Chang Wan picked up the teacup and drank it all, as if it took a lot of courage.

Guan Duyuan pondered, hoping that he would make a lot of mistakes, the officialdom had a lot of complaints about him, and there were many people who coveted the military power in his hands, from the royal family to the military attachΓ©s, and those people had claws stretched out of their throats, just waiting for him to fall off the horse......

But he also thought that now that the relationship between Fanbang is tense, it is not impossible for people outside the border to do so, as long as he has a problem, the strength of the Great Plains Country will be unbearable. His brain hurt so much that he felt like it was going to explode.

Chang Wan refilled the tea for him, and she didn't know if she said too much or if it was wrong, so she didn't dare to ask.

He said: "It's not that I haven't thought about these questions, but I never thought that your identity would be known by others." Who is it that knows so much about the news in my general's mansion? Chang Wan, do you think it is possible that after the Nine Kings were punished, they didn't want to participate in the royal battle anymore and clear the chess pieces? ”

Chang Wan took a deep breath, "No, I know the Nine Kings, the Nine Kings are extremely persistent in imperial power, and they will not give up, he hates those", at this point, everyone understands it.

Guan Duyuan pinched the bridge of his nose, and said after a long time: "Then it is really terrifying that someone has insight into everything and is meticulous, you and I need to be more cautious." ”

Chang Wan replied: "Don't worry, general, I will be cautious." It's a general, you need to be cautious, after all, you are in officialdom, and you should think twice about what you say and do. Now it seems that the general seems to have a big enemy, and the general is in the open and in the dark, so I hope the general is careful. ”

This is the most terrible part, the enemy is in the dark, I am in the light, the enemy knows me well, but I don't know anything about the enemy.

Guan Duyuan thought for a while and said, "Chang Wan, the deeper this matter becomes, the more extensive it is involved. If you are a weak woman, don't worry about this, from now on, you only take care of yourself, and don't care about anything else. I promise you that I will do it, to ensure that you have no worries about food and clothing in this general's mansion, and to protect your ......."

The more she listened, the more she felt that it was not a taste, and quickly interrupted him, "General, this is my business, you don't need to worry about it, we are just a cooperative relationship, you can take care of your business." I don't want to be a burden to the generals! ”

After Chang Wan finished speaking, she turned her face away from him, and she looked up, just to face the string hook moon on the canopy.

Guan Duyuan understood the meaning of her words, but he couldn't give her fearless hope, rather than giving her an empty joy, it was better not to give her hope from the beginning.

He said with difficulty, "Chang Wan, I'...... I can't give anything else, so I don't want to implicate you, I want you to take care of yourself. ”

She said: "It's not that the general doesn't want to implicate me, so he can not implicate me, I'm already in it, and I don't want to get rid of it." I, knowing that I am ashamed of the general, will not say anything more. ”

He knew her thoughts, "Are you saying that it was a scam for you to marry me?" Hey, that's not necessary, I'm just playing on the spot. ”

She looked at the crescent moon, meaning mist in her eyes, she tried her best to devour it, and said in her heart: "The scam is not fake, the affection is true, but you are a good joke!" Do you know that even if it's a play, I take it seriously? ”

After a long time, she said softly, "I know! ”

She turned around, faced him, and said, "Just now, I was quick to talk for a while, and I hope that the general will not go to his heart." Thank you for worrying, I know what I have to do. ”

Guan Du glanced at her from afar, knowing that he had nothing to say, so he didn't say anything more, picked up the tea cup that was already left, and drank it all.

Everything is in silence!

After a long time, he stood up, and she knew that he was leaving, so she also stood up and sent him off.

The general said: "I'm leaving, if you need to tell me directly, as long as I am in the mansion, blow the jade whistle; If I am not in the house, the letters will be sent to me. Be careful! ”

She bowed her head, "Thank you, General!" Let's go! ”

He glanced at her, turned to the back window, and flew out with a whoosh.

Chang Wan looked at the window where the person had just disappeared, and dared to chase after it, holding her hand on the window to look, except for the hazy moonlight and the boundless night, she didn't see anything.

She simply looked up at the crescent moon, and she was afraid that she would have to look at the moon like this in the future!

A lonely figure stood in front of the window, casting a shadow on the ground of the old elder.
