At this time, the sunset has quietly and inadvertently sunk in the west, shining in front of the palace gate of the Taiji Hall, the main hall of the king's palace, which is particularly dazzling. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Info shone in the dawn in front of the main hall of the Taiji Palace, Kong Hong dragged his slender figure all the way out of the Taiji Palace. Her eyes looked a little lonely under such a blood-red sunset, and her steps were not so focused and powerful, but there was a sense of being tangible and godless. Kong Hong walked like this, and even the gray-clothed guards around her, who were very familiar with her, did not dare to ask a question, for fear that if she said something wrong, it would annoy her even more. So, these gray-clothed guards stood silently in place and stared in the direction of Kong Hong's departure, their emotions very complicated. watched Kong Hong's figure until Kong Hong's figure disappeared into the square of the Taiji Palace, that is, he walked out of this palace gate.

Kong Hong only dared to sigh secretly when she walked out of the palace gate, and her ears still echoed the last words of Empress Chen Xinyu, "Sister Hong, these things are not my original intention, I believe you also understand that if we don't get rid of these families who control the government and control the people, we don't know when we will be able to become strong when we leave the country, and I don't know when we will be able to compare with the Qi country." Please also ask Sister Hong to understand me, the first to move the Kong family is not because of any personal grudges, but because the Kong family is the most powerful, I hope Sister Hong will support me. ”

It was this sentence that made Kong Hong sigh, the collection of interests of such a family she was in was really the existence that the most high-ranking people feared and even wanted to get rid of. Now his father's retirement due to illness is the best example. Although Kong Hong did not personally experience the reason for this incident, she could imagine that this must be a strategic purge carried out by Chen Xinyu, the empress of Shengde, with the help of some unknown excuse. Because the Kong family has always been in the Thorn City, and the original Thorn City has also been occupied by the Qi State, knowing that the agreement between the Qi State and the Departure Country has been reached in the past two days, they will return to the Leaving Country. And for the Kong family, which represented the most important interests several times, it was natural to suffer from the suspicion of Chen Xinyu, the empress of Shengde. In this way, everything will be logical, and it is imperative to suppress the Kong family.

Kong Hong is not unable to understand Chen Xinyu's intention and cause and effect in doing this, the family will only choose to pay attention to the interests of their own family first in the face of the interests of the country and their own family, and then consider other things. How to eliminate the stubborn diseases of the family has become the most concerned thing for every superior. Chen Xinyu's father moved the capital out of Checheng and went to Weicheng precisely because there was no better way to deal with these stubborn families, and also because he wanted to change the situation of being dominated by the major families. But the family immediately turned to support the royal Chen family, and seeing that the royal Chen family was about to collapse, they turned their heads to support the orthodox departure from the country. The family is like this, and they will support this side if they are strong. Kong Hong understands these truths, but she still has a little emotion in her heart, now that she has reached such a situation in front of her, it is very important whether their family can withstand the impact this time.

But Kong Hong was born in a family, and she knew very well the power and status of the family, not only in the officialdom, but also in every army that left the country, there were family children or troops led by family generals. The Chen family of the royal family is precisely because there is no way to deal with these families, they can only cooperate with them, and the two sides exist as a community of interests.

Kong Hong let out a long sigh, she suddenly felt that she was a little uninterested, and she didn't want to think about these things. She walked out of the palace gate and went straight to her home. How Chen Xinyu handles these things doesn't really have much to do with her, she has to think carefully about how to do the first thing.

..............

In the evening, a caravan appeared at the south gate of the city, this caravan was under the banner of the Qi country, and the two of them drove a cow, such a sturdy ox carried a cart, which carried grain, copper and iron, and bags of packaged sugar and salt, and even rare items such as tea and silk porcelain. At the front of the caravan were two very young women, one wearing a light blue scholar's shirt, and the other a woman wearing a general's armor and a red turban on her head. In the same way, the appearance of these two women is beyond the ordinary, with delicate faces, delicate facial features, and delicate bodies hidden under their coats, all of which make every citizen in the city who sees them amazed and sighed that there is such a sign of a woman.

These two girls are none other than Nangong Yun and Lin Xuejun, the two deputy generals of Yu Fei who were stationed in Xiaoguan before. After Yu Fei rushed to the city, they also received a message from Li Fu, the general of the Qi State, and asked them to also go to the city to find an opportunity to trade with the country with the things that they did not need to use for the time being. Maybe we can start a different kind of business path.

Of course, Nangong Yun and Lin Xuejun naturally still have their own plans and intentions, the main forces of the Qi State have been withdrawn to the Qi Kingdom, and there is no movement on the Xuanling Continent. Coupled with the two siblings Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, Xia Liuli and Lu Deng, the four of them have already gone to explore the existence of the Dragon Tomb. So the situation in front of them is the clarion call for liberation for those who are also Xiao Guan's guards, they immediately escorted this batch of goods to this place after receiving Yu Fei's letter, it happened that it was evening, and the gate of the city was about to be closed in half an hour, and today they still had the opportunity to enter the city.

Nangong Yun had already agreed with several important merchants of this caravan in advance about the current situation, asking them to leave the city as soon as they sold the inventory in their hands, and they must not leave any control here. And they are going to see Kong Hong, the wife of Zhao Ling, the general who left the country that Feng Yuchong said in the letter, to help.

The guards at the gate of this caravan immediately blocked Nangong Yun and Lin Xuejun's way, Nangong Yun showed their Qi General's sign, and the guards guarding the city gate felt that this matter was very important, and they didn't dare to make a conclusion. So they immediately ordered a guard known as "Scud" to mount his horse and inform Empress Shotoku of the incident, and to see Her Majesty's attitude, the guard immediately set off and hurried in the direction of the king's palace.

Half an hour later, the guard hurried here again, followed by a gray-clothed guard, who held a gold medal in his hand, and immediately shouted before he approached the city gate: "Her Majesty the Empress Shengde has an order, all merchants of Qi will be allowed to pass, and no part of the city will be blocked, and they can come and go at any time." ”

So, under Chen Xinyu's order, this Qi caravan had entered the city very smoothly, and Nangong Yun and Lin Xuejun rode their horses to Zhao Ling's mansion on the edge of the city according to the previous agreement. They agreed with Yu Fei that once the situation stabilized, they would come here to meet her.

Yu Fei himself was now in Zhao Ling's mansion, and now Zhao Ling was ordered to lead his army north to recover several county towns and border areas that had not yet sworn allegiance. He even had to lead the army to deter the hairpins, a minority group in the north, and it was impossible to rush back for a while. Then there is no need to be in a hurry in the current situation, and Yu Fei stayed in Zhao Ling's mansion in such a grand manner.

Nangong Yun and Lin Xuejun inquired all the way, and it didn't take long for them to successfully find the downtown area in the city, and now because the original tense atmosphere has dissipated with the stability of the situation. The people of the whole city have resumed their daily life and production routines, as evidenced by the reopening of the downtown area on this side.

The most popular part of the downtown area here is the night market that takes place every night, where you can not only participate in the feast, but also take advantage of various opportunities to get rewards and sell items. Ordinary people usually come here to join in the excitement and see the specific situation, but ordinary businessmen will seize the opportunity of this night market and make a lot of profits.

Because it can be crowded every day, the nobles of the royal palace who usually live here are accustomed to such a gathering in the middle of the night, and they even have a few more playful officials who like to participate in the activities at this time.

Originally, Kong Hong, the wife of General Zhao Ling, was also such a person who liked to participate in these activities, and every merchant he met on the way actually knew Kong Hong, and they regarded her as a good friend and knew each other closely. And almost every night market, Kong Hong will come to participate, more or less the time is not necessarily.

But today, these merchants saw Kong Hong, who was returning from the king's palace with a lot of heart. Kong Hong's face, whether it was his movements or expressions, shocked the hearts of these merchants in front of him, and they didn't dare to think about other things.

The pressure on Kong Hong's heart now is indeed very great, Chen Xinyu has exerted such a strong pressure on her, no matter what, she still needs to think about the reason for this. But now, she felt that she should discuss with Yu Fei how to deal with these specific matters. Either way, it's all about coming up with a realistic plan.

Kong Hong came to the door of her mansion, she originally wanted to go home to rest, but she suddenly saw two figures leading war horses at the door of the mansion, Kong Hong couldn't see the faces of these two riders clearly in the dark, but her keen consciousness told her that these two people were by no means ordinary people.
