Hu Tongzhi seemed to be considering, he sometimes touched his beard and looked at Chu Nian inquiringly, sometimes frowning and drinking tea gently, for a long time, before Chu Nian touched his beard and said: "I accept you as an apprentice, in fact, I have a request for you, and now I have a lot of things that I can't do by myself, and Qingyi's identity is really a little embarrassing...... I've done the math, and now you're the only one who can help me. ”

As he spoke, he lowered his head with some regret and said: "Your brother's personality is like my appetite, just like when I was young, but in the end he is a child, he doesn't understand many things, and he is easy to be spoiled by blood." ”

Chu Nian smiled slightly, probably guessed what Hu Tongzhi wanted to say, so he half-lowered his eyes and said: "More than 20 years ago, the Hu family was tragically destroyed, and his only son fled abroad, and has not returned. ”

While sorting out his thoughts, he looked up at Hu Tongzhi, and saw Hu Tongzhi's unwavering face, Chu Nian's eyes flickered slightly.

Once upon a time, the news of the Su family's six mothers like various unsolved cases in history circulated throughout the capital, and the Su family had countless disciples in the heyday of the Su family, one of which liked to discuss with Su Liuniang, and often used his authority to take the case files of historical unsolved cases to Su Liuniang to discuss together.

When I saw this case back then, the paper that recorded the case was already moldy, but Chu Nian still remembered this case vividly...... Chu Nian raised his eyes and glanced at Shanghai Tong thoughtfully.

I saw Hu Tongzhi's side eyes and smiled: "You know a lot, but back then, the Hu family was not wiped out, in addition to me, there are still a few descendants left behind, if I remember correctly, Wuchen Wangfu should have a nephew of mine." ”

Chu Nian frowned, "The descendants of the Hu family, in the Wuchen Palace?" ”

Hu Tongzhi looked a little helpless, "I don't know why he is there, but it is indeed a descendant of my Hu family, and as for my grievances, ......"

"Actually, there is no need to avenge me." Hu Tongzhi looked at Chu Nian solemnly: "You are very talented, I taught you illusion so that you can help me fight against my enemy." ”

Chu Nian's eyes flashed slightly, "Your enemy? ”

Hu Tongzhi nodded, lowered his eyes, picked up the teacup, and took a sip: "I have already investigated the events of the year, and I have long understood the truth about those things." ”

"Who is the master's enemy?"

Seeing Chu Nian's curious gaze, Hu Tongzhi's face was a little complicated, and after a while, he got up and looked at Feixue outside the window with his back hand, "This...... You will naturally know in the future that what you have to do now is to help the Su family redress their grievances. ”

Chu Nian's eyes flashed slightly, and after a while, he saw Hu Tongzhi walking slowly towards the door: "It's cold, remember to add clothes." ”

……

Above the court, the emperor was sitting on the dragon chair and pondering, and no one dared to speak among the ministers, except Liu Qi, who stood in the hall with a solemn face.

"What do you say about the news from Zhenyuan?"

Ming Xiu on the side stood upright in court clothes, his long ink-colored hair was draped over his shoulders, and his narrow eyes shone with a little annoyance.

Liu Qi bent down and said, "The grain and grass distributed by the soldiers have already arrived at the border pass, Zhenyuan has been waiting for a while, and he has the upper hand, but I didn't expect that the barbarians suddenly broke out, and they seemed to be stimulated by something to attack day and night, we only have 70,000 elite soldiers left, and the other party has 100,000, Hou Ye came to the news...... It won't last long. ”

The princes on the side also looked solemn, and the news of the border pass came too suddenly, and for a while, no one in the entire court came up with a way to crack it.

At this stall, the first young man stepped forward: "Your Majesty, it is better to mobilize the Imperial Forest Army to support, now, there are many enemy troops, and there is only one way." ”

Liu Qi frowned and glanced back at Chu Yuanlang, pursed his thin lips and did not speak, at this stall, he saw the king of Huainan on the side and said: "Brother Huang, I heard that the hussar general still has some soldiers and horses in his hands, why don't you send the hussar general to support?" ”

The ministers fell into deep thought, now that there are so many things happening in Beijing, there are not a few generals who really have military power in their hands, but the remaining ones are also eating in Beijing and waiting for death for a long time, and the enemy army is brave and good at fighting, but the blood of these generals has long been smoothed out.

"Now that the hussar general is guarding the northwest, what if the hussar general is transferred to the north and is exploited by Xichu?"

It was King Wuchen who asked the question, he stepped forward, did not squint, although the question in his voice was directed towards the king of Huainan, but when he spoke, he looked at the emperor, as if waiting for the emperor to decide the matter.

At this point, I saw that the emperor sighed, frowned and turned his eyes to look at Ming Xiu on the side: "Ming Xiu, what do you think?" ”

Ming Xiufeng's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he turned his eyes to look at Liu Qi: "How many people are in General Liu's Imperial Forest Army?" ”

Liu Qi lowered his eyes: "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, the last general's subordinates now only have thousands of elite soldiers, and the Royal Forest Army has not been selected yet." ”

Hearing this, Ming Xiu frowned and looked at everyone present, "Isn't there anyone who wants to ask Ying to go to the border to support on their own?" ”

The hall was still silent, Ming Xiu's gaze swept over everyone present, and even fixed on the face of Shaozhen Ning Hou, who was eager to try, a trace of relief flashed in his eyes, and he blinked slightly, and saw Chu Yuanlang take a step forward and said: "Wei Chen is willing to automatically ask Ying to go to the border to support, but the Chu family does not have the power to ...... soldiers."

King Wuchen immediately spoke: "This king has a little 10,000 guards, and I can borrow them from you. ”

Seeing King Wuchen speak, the other princes couldn't hold back their faces, and they lent their guards one after another, and the elite soldiers under the princes added up to 50,000.

At this stall, King Huainan glanced at Ming Xiu, and saw that Ming Xiu's face was not turbulent, so he turned his eyes to look at Chu Yuanlang and said: "This king has some friendship with your sister, for the sake of your sister's face, this king's 10,000 guards are also lent to you, and when you lead your troops through Huainan, all the guards under this king are at your disposal." ”

Chu Yuanlang showed a grateful face, "Thank you, princes." ”

At this stall, seeing that the candidate has been decided, the civil and military officials are all talking about it, and there are a few who regret it in their hearts at this moment, they already know who will be able to get so much military power, of course they also want to ask for it, this stall, Liu Qi frowned and said: "The young marquis is still young, I'm afraid he won't be able to lead the troops......"

"Repair a letter to the hussar general, just say that Chu Jiayuanlang will go out with the army, and ask him to help a little, besides, there is still a town far away over there, and the commander is still a town far away."

Chen Lao stroked his beard and spoke, blocking the second half of Liu Qi's sentence with a word, Liu Qi pursed his lips, and after all, he didn't say a word.

At this stall, there was a burst of laughter outside the door, and I saw a silver hair slowly walking in from the entrance of the hall, a pair of gray-white pupils flashing with a strange light, and the person who came looked at the people present with an indifferent face, and bowed slightly to the emperor and said, "The minister is late." ”

The emperor frowned, Ming Xiu on the side looked at the darkness in front of him with inquiring eyes, and the princes had already shown vigilance, only the king of Huainan stood in the hall comfortably, as if he didn't see the darkness.

"Deputy National Teacher?" The emperor at the top looked at the dark and said, "Aren't you supposed to be praying for the Queen Mother at this moment, why are you here to do it?" ”

If it is said that the national teacher is called a hundred officials, there are quite objections in their hearts, but the inaction of the two national teachers after that can also make the hundred officials feel very happy - after all, the two have no real power, and they will only pray for the harem all day long, and the national teachers who make alchemy and perform illusions to please everyone will always make people lower their vigilance, but they have completely forgotten how much power the queen mother gave when the name of the national teacher was awarded to these two national teachers.

Dark Rin smiled and said: "Today, the country and the people are safe, so naturally we don't need Weichen, but Weichen has been watching the sky at night recently, the stars are bright, and the matter of the border is just about to happen." ”

The emperor at the top frowned slightly, and then saw the king of Huainan on the side and questioned: "Isn't the deputy national teacher good at illusion?" When did you become good at stargazing? ”

Dark Rin smiled, seemingly ignoring the hostility of King Huainan, and after a while, he lowered his eyes and smiled lightly: "If Weichen is not mistaken, the prince's mansion is also about to be a good thing." ”

King Huainan's face changed suddenly, and the ministers on the side were all discussing: "Aren't all the princes of Huainan abolished?" The princess is not by the prince's side, what good things can happen in Huainan Palace? ”

Dark Rin looked sideways slightly, and his gray-white eyes flashed with a meaningful light: "Wei Chen is wrong?" ”

King Huainan glanced at the dark Rin with mixed faces, and did not speak, at this stall, he saw King Wuchen on the side looking at King Huainan curiously and said, "What is the good thing in the imperial brother's mansion?" ”

At this stall, the emperor at the top also looked at King Huainan inquiringly, and saw King Huainan said in a sullen voice: "The concubine of the younger brother is pregnant, but it was also in the morning that the younger brother knew the news." ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar, and at this moment King Huainan was also full of wondering, you know, Xiaolan was pregnant when he got up in the morning, and Xiaolan also told him in person that in addition to him and Xiaolan himself, only Ye Lao knew about it.

And Ye Lao was begged by Chu Nian earlier, so he came to take care of Xiaolan's body every once in a while, Ye Lao has always been a person who attaches great importance to commitments, Xiaolan was afraid that the news of her pregnancy would cause trouble, so she told Ye Lao not to say it, this is only a morning's work, how did he know that a person who didn't even go out of the palace gate?

The emperor at the top looked happy: "This is really a good thing. ”

And the expression of the king of Huainan also verified the dark statement, and the civil and military officials were in an uproar, and then saw that the king of Wuchen also stepped forward suspiciously and said: "The deputy national teacher may see what has happened in this king's mansion recently?" ”

Dark Rin sideways, as if looking at King Wuchen's face, after a while, he retracted his gaze, frowned, and said, "Is there bloodshed in the prince's mansion?" Lord, pay attention to the strife in the backyard......"

As soon as these words came out, King Wuchen's face suddenly sank, and after a while, he soothed his expression, turned his eyes to look at King Huainan on the side, and nodded lightly.

At this moment, King Huainan's face looked like he had eaten.

At this point, he saw that Dark Rin continued: "Now, will the princes believe what Weichen said? ”
