Chapter 22 - The Capital of Departure (Part II)

Although Xia Chengjie didn't want to discuss this issue with Kong Hong in depth at this moment, he really had to admit that Kong Hong's vision was really far-reaching, and she was already able to see through the most in-depth things at such a young age. So, Xia Chengjie lowered his head and thought about it for a while, but finally decided to have an in-depth discussion with Kong Hong.

"Then in this way, Hong'er, do you understand the attitude of Empress Shengde now?Is what you are doing now with her acquiescence at this time?" Xia Chengjie was silent for a long time, and finally said this, Kong Hong's expression was suddenly overjoyed, which also invisibly showed Xia Chengjie's attitude, and the plan she was secretly planning was possible to achieve. Now, what she needs most is the support of Xia Chengjie in front of her, as well as the support of her father, once these two conditions are met, she will have the most powerful capital, and she will no longer be as isolated as she is now.

So, Kong Hong hurriedly said: "Tell my uncle the truth, now Empress Shengde has not only had the world in mind since she was a child, but she is also a rare Ming Jun, who has experienced great changes in her life since she was a child, she has already been able to understand the people, and even love everyone under her rule." These things are easier said than done, but she has been working hard. The current situation must be very clear to my uncle, although he is forced to sue for peace after seeing the failure of the expedition to leave the country, in fact, the unity within the country and the support of the people and even the orthodox name they now have, each of which the current royal Chen family does not have. Presumably, my uncle also knows very well that in addition to the tens of thousands of elite troops here who were trained by the children of the Chen family of the royal family and are loyal to them, the soldiers and people in other regions may even include the people of the city. The reason why they support the royal Chen family now is just to protect their own interests. The father of the previous monarch who left the country, that is, Empress Shengde, moved the capital in a little haste, so that the family in the city, including the ordinary people, were not prepared, so he jumped out of the cage of the city, which directly led to the general dissatisfaction of the people in the city now, but in fact, the reason was not because they supported the royal Chen family, but because they felt that the core interests of leaving the country after moving the capital were no longer theirs. This made them very unhappy, and it is not surprising that they even made such a move and action. ”

Kong Hong paused for a moment, because she saw Xia Chengjie's thoughtful gaze. Kong Hong continued: "Actually, Empress Shengde wants to unify the entire Xuanling Continent, and this purpose has been thought of since she was a child. Especially at this moment, when a strong foreign enemy is eyeing us and may intervene in our domestic affairs at any time, her original intention was to hope that the last crusade would be able to reap the greatest results. It's just a pity that this battle was completely defeated because of a battle on the Viku Plain, but she will not be reconciled, in the last few days, she has been patrolling around the country to find out whether this battle has brought disaster to ordinary people. Even if a family killed their son in battle, she would even go in to burn incense and pray to comfort the family. Uncle Xia, you must know that it is not stable to leave the country now, and many people at both ends of the snake and mouse are secretly thinking about countermeasures, but at this most critical time, she ran out to pay a private visit to Weifu. Uncle Xia, you said this, Chen Xuan, can he do it?"

Xia Chengjie really didn't expect Kong Hong to say this, and these things were all things he didn't know. He never thought that Empress Shengde would be such a person, acting casually and not even caring about these hidden dangers in the country, running around to appease the families of the dead, and even accompanying them to pay tribute, which was something that Xia Chengjie never thought of anyway. He couldn't help but fall silent.

After being silent for a long time, Xia Chengjie said slowly: "But Hong'er, even if I help you, but with the strength of the two of us, I'm afraid it will be difficult to gain anything." Now that there is a truce between the two sides, the forces are insufficient, and I can't help you even if I want to. This is also Xia Chengjie's biggest worry, the 10,000 garrisons in these four counties are all soldiers loyal to the royal Chen family, even if he already controls this army, it is impossible for him to dispatch this army in his own name, and there are only 300 personal guards that he can use.

Kong Hong wants this sentence, as long as Xia Chengjie is willing to help him, then everything else will not be too big a problem. Besides, it was far from the time to really put things right, and they didn't need to rush it.

Kong Hong smiled slightly, she slowly stood up from the stone bench, looked at Xia Chengjie in front of her with a smile and said, "In this case, Uncle Xia said okay, you said that you want to help me, but you can't regret it." In that case, I will now go back to the city, and then find a way to go back and persuade my father. As long as he said yes, I could learn more. ”

After all, the Chen family of the royal family is related to the vital interests of the family. Xia Chengjie sighed silently, he didn't understand now, would Kong Hong's father really listen to her persuasion? Even if he did, once the news reached the city, he was afraid that it would lead to death.

Kong Hong sneered slightly, "I don't know if it's our Kong family, the family is actually a wall-to-wall grass, and they support the royal Chen family, ostensibly because of the suppression and exploitation of the monarch of the country." But in fact, the main reason is because of the relocation of the capital to Weicheng. As long as more favorable conditions can be offered for leaving the country now, they will naturally secretly support leaving the country, which is very simple. So, all of this is not a problem, the key is that Uncle Xia must help me!" After speaking, Kong Hong stretched out one of his jade arms that was as white as snow in the moonlight, as if he wanted to high-five Xia Chengjie as an oath.

Xia Chengjie nodded silently, it seemed that Kong Hong had thought about everything, staring at Kong Hong's very resolute face, an extremely complicated emotion surged in his heart, and after a long time, he finally stood up and slapped lightly on Kong Hong's palm. This is to agree to her conditions. Kong Hong bowed down and smiled, "Then thank you uncle." It's getting late, and I'll have to go back to rest. Let's talk about it tomorrow, what does my uncle think?"

Xia Chengjie raised his head and stared at the sky, and found that the full moon had come directly above their heads, and now that the night was deep, he had no reason to continue to stay here, so Xia Chengjie left directly, and he went back to think about how to deal with this tricky matter in front of him with a full heart. But Kong Hong turned around, her eyes looked at Xia Chengjie's departing back very complicated, even if Xia Chengjie promised to support her at this time, the situation in front of her is still not too clear, and it may even make the situation in front of her more difficult. So, all night this day, Kong Hong sat on a stone bench in the garden, pondering all the things that were before him and what they should do if they went to the city to-morrow. How should she talk to Zhao Ling about this?

In the early morning of the next day, Kong Hong went back in the deepest part of the night to rest for a while, and when the two siblings, Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, came to call her, she was still resting there in a bit of a daze. But after hearing the shouts of the two brothers and sisters, Kong Hong still bounced his body from the bed in an instant, and immediately stood up after simply repairing the clothes on his body, and after pushing open the door of this small courtyard, Kong Hong had already seen Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, two brothers and sisters who were ready to leave.

Kong Hong smiled slowly and said, "It's really early now, are you in such a hurry to get to the city?" Kong Hong looked at the strange scene in front of her, and looked at the two brothers and sisters Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, who had already dressed and brought the package, she couldn't help but smile dumbly.

Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, the two siblings, scratched their heads a little embarrassedly, although they probably knew that Kong Hong had a very close relationship with Xia Chengjie, the governor of Luoshu County, but what they didn't know was that now Kong Hong and Xia Chengjie had reached a tacit relationship with each other. So at this moment, they are still a little worried.

Kong Hong looked at the expressions and movements of the two siblings, Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, she already knew that the two siblings didn't know much about the situation at this moment, but Kong Hong didn't want to explain anything. Looking at the slightly surprised expressions and movements of the two siblings, Kong Hong was not too embarrassed to refuse them. So, Kong Hong sighed slowly, "Okay, okay, I'll clean up, and you guys will go directly to Checheng with me, how about it?"

Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, the two siblings, nodded hurriedly, they could see a little reluctance in Kong Hong's expression, but since they had done so, it meant that they had reached a situation where it was difficult to ride a tiger. Feng Shanshan cautiously asked, "Sister Hong'er, has your plan been realized now?"

Kong Hong smiled slightly, turned around and walked directly into this courtyard, Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, the two brothers and sisters, heard her whispered words from afar, "I have completely settled the matter here, since you have decided, then we will prepare to leave immediately, however, you should be vigilant, try not to let the guards here see our departing figure, this is very important, once we are seen or noticed by others, we may not leave so easily"

Not long after, when Xia Chengjie got the news of the soldiers guarding here and rushed here, he had already seen an empty room that was neatly packed and looked like no one had ever lived in. Xia Chengjie walked in, but found that there was a letter on the table in this room, and on this letter, Xia Chengjie saw very clearly the small characters above Juanxiu, with Kong Hong's name written on it. "Uncle Cheng Jie personally opened. ”
