Chapter 263: Believe Him or Believe Me
ο»Ώο»Ώο»Ώ
The weather in late spring is always a bit dreary, like the dark twilight of a summer thunderstorm before it arrives. At that time, Hua Xiyan was sitting in the palace, and asked Xia to play a fan on the side.
"Miss." Qian Xia couldn't help but be disturbed by the doubts in his heart, and couldn't help asking, "For the past few days, you have to go to Qifeng Palace every day to have a look, what is it for?" β
"I'm looking for something." Hua Xiyan squinted, like a lazy cat, and spit out these two words indistinctly.
"Looking for something?"
"Hmm." Hua Xiyan turned over, her long hair poured down from the side of her body, and she fell off the soft couch, and threw out a black brocade on the ground, which was full of beauty.
The first time she went to Qifeng Palace with Yun Qi, she found something strange, take the paintings hanging in the palace, it is obvious that they began to be painted after Queen Lixin entered the palace, and later Qifeng Palace was burned for some reason, but these paintings are now intact, so where were these paintings hidden?
Hua Xiyan personally thinks that there is a secret room in Qifeng Palace after all, and she is really curious about the place where her mother lived, so she has to take a look every day, although she has not found anything now.
"Miss!" Feng Tao's head suddenly poked in from outside.
Hua Xiyan was lying on his side, facing the window, and suddenly saw Feng Tao's handsome face, and was startled.
"Coming back? Is there news? Hua Xiyan stood up, with a look of fear that the world would not be chaotic.
Feng Tao nodded hurriedly: "Chen County is backed by Chen Mountain, and there is a woodland in Chen Mountain that is Chen Jun's territory, and Chen County's hot spring village is built in it. This time, when the emperor's personal guards found Chen Jun, they searched the hot spring Zhuangzi on one side, and sure enough, they found a hidden military post fifty miles away from the Zhuangzi. β
"Fifty miles away?" Hua Xiyan blinked, "Yes, when I checked Chen County before, I always thought that Xie Ji's arrangement was hidden elsewhere, and it couldn't be within the scope of Chen County, it turned out that the most dangerous place was the safest place, not unreasonable." β
"It is said that the imperial history was shocked at the beginning, and without saying a word, all the Chen Jun Xie clan was detained, and Tijing's documents were already on the way, and he would probably be able to reach the Jinluan Palace tomorrow."
Hua Xiyan bit his fingers and suddenly laughed: "In the past few days, things have been going on, and I think our old emperor's endurance is really going to the limit." β
Feng Tao nodded approvingly: "In the previous days, the ten great families all maintained their own power, checking and balancing each other, no matter how they fought openly and secretly behind their backs, but the peace on the surface was still very well maintained. poured a Taiyuan Wen clan and another Fan Yang Lu clan, and this balance will inevitably be broken. plus the Chenjun Xie clan after that...... It's enough for this old emperor to stand it......"
"It's just that the weapons factory is unusual, Xie Ji should hide it well, how could it be found out all of a sudden? Is the old emperor's imperial history really that easy to use? Hua Xiyan absolutely did not admit that he was despising the old emperor, and asked with a sincere face.
"The young lady is smart, after the imperial history investigated in the hot spring Zhuangzi, and the reputation found that there was something unusual. Then a group of woodcutters suddenly rushed out, shouting at Yushi that they were wronged, and they were sued by Chen Jun Xie Shike for deducting wages. Feng Tao lazily leaned on the window, winked at Xia Fei, and smiled with a bad face, "The imperial history grabbed a few people and asked, only to know that these people were cutting wood for the Xie family on Chen Mountain, these people said that every batch of wood of the Xie family was transported to the back mountain, and then the imperial history followed these people to the back mountain, and then discovered the secret of the Xie family. β
"When Yu Shi went to search, the mountain must have been sealed, where did these woodcutters come from?"
Feng Tao smiled: "As Miss Cheng thought, those woodcutters are naturally not ordinary people. If it were an ordinary person, he would not dare to sue his owner in front of the imperial history if he was given 10,000 guts, wouldn't he? And ......"
Feng Tao paused for a moment: "And I asked the other subordinates of the Xie family, and the Xie family treats the subordinates very kindly, and there will never be any deductions." β
"Treat your subordinates well...... still provoked a lot of people. Hua Xiyan pouted and smiled, "The person who can find out the location of Xie Ji's weapons factory is definitely above me." β
Although Feng Tao didn't want to nod, he still had to admit it in his heart.
Hua Xiyan looked at Feng Tao's expression very strangely, and couldn't help frowning, and asked a little tangled: "There are people outside the world, don't tell me that your secret guard of the Fengzi generation is so measured?" β
"What words!" Feng Tao rolled his eyes, and said with disdain: "Is it good that this son's stomach can support the boat?" β
Hua Xiyan chuckled and didn't tear him down, and put on his shoes to the ground.
"Hey, hey...... Miss, don't go. Feng Tao hurriedly called Hua Xiyan and asked shyly, "Miss, do you know, who did I see when I went to Chen County?" β
Hua Xiyan gave him a look of "do you like to say it or not".
Toyota touched his head, and Junyi's face showed a sad look, which seemed to be very entangled, and he muttered for a long time, and then approached Huaxiyan: "Miss, do you remember the woman who was in Taiyuan last time, and the Lantern Festival lantern was swinging?" β
Hua Xiyan naturally remembered that she got Lantian Jade at that lantern fair, and that woman's good archery skills made her extremely impressed.
"What? Did you see her? β
Feng Tao nodded violently: "I followed behind when Yushi went to Chen Mountain, and I saw her by chance, although it was only a glimpse, but I was sure that I was absolutely not mistaken." β
Hua Xiyan glanced at Feng Tao with disgust, as if he didn't believe his sworn appearance.
Feng Tao almost swore to the sky: "I put that girl in my heart, and I went to find her the next day after Taiyuan, and the building was empty." After thinking about it day and night, I can recognize even a strand of hair! β
Without time to pay attention to the earth-shattering sound of the cowhide blowing by the wind, Hua Xiyan grasped the point: "So the master behind that girl is likely to be the same person who sent someone to expose the Xie family?" β
Feng Tao nodded again.
Huaxi smoke is clear, if it is explained in this way, it can also be explained. After all, it is not an ordinary person who can get Lantian Jade, and he may not have the ability to find the secret of the Xie family.
Hua Xiyan also sensitively felt another point of Feng Tao's words, what those woodcutters said was that it was the Xie family who deducted their wages, and did not name the Xie family's third room, that is to say, the people behind those woodcutters were originally going to the entire Xie family.
What big names has the Xie family provoked over the years? Hua Xiyan blinked, and Mingyan's face looked confused.
And she really wanted to know who that person was.
"It's hard work, let's rest!" Hua Xiyan waved his hand at the wind, looking very considerate of his subordinates.
Feng Tao had just walked a few steps before he thought of something, turned his head again, and shouted at Hua Xiyan: "Miss, Master Hou has sent a message, and he will arrive in the capital in a few days." β
Hua Xiyan was shocked, and then he was overjoyed, thinking of the old man who seemed to be old-fashioned but was actually old-fashioned, and an incomparable sense of intimacy spread in his heart.
In the blink of an eye, it has been more than half a year.
I don't know if it's because of the Xie family or Wen Xuanhou, Hua Xiyan's mood has always been very good. As soon as Yun Qi came in, he saw the smile on her lips that didn't have time to retract.
"Happy?" Yun Qi sat opposite Hua Xiyan, looking at her curved eyebrows.
Hua Xiyan nodded honestly.
"It is said that the emperor's messenger encountered an ambush on the way back to Beijing, and there were only three people left in the group."
Ambush? Hua Xiyan's brain turned around and he understood: "This is the rhythm of adding fuel to the fire." β
Ambush the messenger and prevent him from bringing the news of Chen County back to the capital...... Then everyone's first reaction was that the Xie family wanted to kill people. But if it is really the Xie family, how can there be four survivors left in the end?
But now, these things are no longer important, tomorrow as soon as the Xie family's affairs are in the Jinluan Palace, Emperor Tianlong is only afraid that he will just take care of punishing the Xie family, who cares about the strangeness of this?
"Do you have an idea?" Hua Xiyan could feel Yun Qi's look on his face, and he didn't look up, asking spontaneously.
These days, Yun Qi has to come to the palace every day to sit down, and he doesn't say anything to Hua Xiyan, just sitting quietly like this, he seems to be very satisfied.
He was indeed satisfied. If she is not sad, he will not blame himself; If she is not cold, he will not be cold. The two are so salty, ordinary, ordinary, and their relationship is still the most intimate.
"Nope." Yun Qi shook his head slowly, "I have also sent someone to inquire, but every time I feel a huge obstacle, and the clues that I have finally found out will be interrupted, so I haven't found out the reason so far." β
"I'm afraid this person will become a big obstacle for you in the future." Hua Xiyan finally raised his head, "If he also has the heart to get a piece of the pie, you ......"
"Do you believe him or me?" Yun Qi suddenly stood up and leaned over to approach Hua Xiyan, as if this was the way to see clearly the look in her eyes that was covered by Qingming.
thought that Hua Xiyan would lower her eyebrows and not say anything as usual, but she leaned back in the chair, put her hands around her chest, and put on a lazy and proud posture, looking at him with a smile.
"Believe him or me?" Yun Qi repeated it for the second time, never so obsessed with getting an answer.
Hua Xiyan was still staring at him, as if he wanted to see a flower on his face. She didn't even know who that person was, so what was the question of believing?
"Believe him or me?"
The two looked at each other like this, the curvature of their lips became bigger and bigger, Hua Xiyan finally couldn't help but laugh out loud, turned his face away, and spit out two words: "Childish." β
"Miss!" Wen Xia suddenly ran in from the foreign affairs office, lying on the door frame panting, and hurriedly said, "Young master...... Master...... It's back! β
Hua Xiyan's astonishment was only for a moment, and the next moment, his body disappeared into the room like a puff of green smoke.
Yun Qi looked at the chair that was empty in an instant, and there seemed to be a faint fragrance on her body in the air, which made people feel overwhelmed.
In addition, her sentence just now seemed to be disgusted and helplessly "naΓ―ve", and suddenly felt that the twilight spring had passed, and the midsummer had already quietly arrived.
