Chapter 239: Farewell Without Saying Goodbye

"The Fifth Clan of the Fifth City?" Hearing this, Li Chengcheng pondered carefully for a while, and only after a while did he seem to remember, and said, "But in the past, the official worshiped the Great General and one of the ten founding people of Yanhua?" I remember that it was recorded in the secret history that the Fifth Clan once commanded the Blood Demon Alliance. ”

The secret history that Li Tingcheng said should be the "Secret History of the Empire" that Ge Yunhai read to the fifth Tingyun at the beginning.

Fifth, Tingyun nodded.

"In the early years, the father seemed to have relegated the fifth clan to a county in Jialing Province, and in recent years, the fifth clan has withered, weakened day by day, and has gradually been forgotten by the government and the opposition. Li Chengcheng said while thinking about it, his expression didn't seem to be fake, "Speaking of which, if I hadn't turned over the secret history of the empire some time ago, I wouldn't have known that there was such a big family in Yanhua when Yanhua founded the country." Alas, the world is unpredictable, who would have thought that a prominent family a few years ago would decline so quickly. ”

After listening to Li Tingcheng's words, the fifth Tingyun was silent on the surface, but he had more questions in his heart. He stared at the princess of Allure next to him, who was about the same height as himself, and didn't care about the rude "don't look at it if it's indecent", he wanted to judge something from Li Chengcheng's expression.

But looking left and right, he still didn't feel that Li Chengcheng's words just now were lying.

Such a situation made him even more frightened. Judging from Li Tingcheng's words, Li Tingcheng was completely unaware of the existence of the Fifth Family? How could this be possible, and it was absolutely impossible for a single Jialing Provincial Criminal Department to issue an order to raid the Fifth Family.

Moreover, although the fifth clan was deposed, the ancestors had also made outstanding contributions, and if such a family was to be confiscated, at least the five central departments had to make a joint decision, and the central criminal department must issue an order.

Since the source of the order is the central government, how can the royal family not know the reason?

Since the royal family knows, how can Princess Allure not know?

Now it seems that there are only two situations, either Li Tingcheng is lying and deliberately acting for the fifth Tingyun. It stands to reason that Li Tingcheng doesn't know the true identity of the Fifth Tingyun, and she has no reason to act, or Li Tingcheng really doesn't know about the Fifth Clan.

If the second case is the case, then it seems that the matter is far from being as simple and straightforward as it seems!

Fifth, Tingyun's mind spun quickly, and in an instant, many doubts that he had encountered before were taken seriously again. Including the raid of the Fifth Clan, the true and false teachers, Li Qingping and the Criminal Department, the local Criminal Department and the Central Criminal Department, the Criminal Department and the School Department, etc., everything that has anything to do with the raid of the Fifth Clan, no matter who or what, he quickly went through it.

But after finishing it, he found that not only did he not become clear, but he became even more confused. This matter of the Fifth Clan is like a vast and boundless uncharted sea shrouded in fog, and the more you remove the fog, the more you find yourself in a thicker fog.

"Are you sure that the report of the exemption qualifying tournament does not mention the Fifth Clan?" he didn't believe that Li Chengcheng was lying, so he further confirmed, "Or are you sure that the Imperial Family doesn't have any information about the Fifth Clan this year?"

Maybe the fifth Tingyun asked too directly, and now Li Tingcheng also looked at the fifth Tingyun with a little suspicion, and said, "I'm sure." Do you have anything to do with the Fifth Family, and why do you care so much about the Fifth Family?"

Fifth Tingyun took a deep breath and said, "No, I'm just a small casual cultivator in Jialing Province, and I just happened to be in time for the annual push and exemption qualifying tournament before I came out. But what I experienced personally was a little different from what I heard in the barracks during the day, so I was curious and wanted to ask. ”

He decided to stop the topic and stop talking, from Li Tingcheng's words and expression, he had already made a judgment, and he felt that he couldn't talk to Li Tingcheng anymore.

"Oh?" Li Chengcheng became interested at this time, "You mean, the Criminal Department and the School Department of Jialing Province have something to hide from the central government?"

Fifth, Tingyun smiled noncommittally, in fact, he felt that the statement that "some people in the central government were hiding from the royal family" made him more convinced. But he is not a person in that circle, it is really difficult to say anything, it seems that Li Chengcheng can't find out anything, so he has to say it all.

The established fact that he knows now is that Li Tingcheng, as a member of the royal family, is the most favored princess of His Majesty today, if even she doesn't know about the Fifth Clan, then it is very likely that Li Tingcheng is being concealed. Contacting Li Tingcheng's character again, I think that if she knew that the royal family was going to deal with the descendants of the founding ministers, she would try her best to prevent it.

This may be the reason why she was being hidden.

In other words, the meaning of dealing with the Fifth Race is an irresistible will.

This will even needs to hide from the princess of Allure.

If you think about it this way, the owner of this will is already ready to come out.

"Wuyun, since you have said so much, then tell me what is the situation of the promotion and exemption qualifier you experienced?" Seeing that the fifth hearing Yun was silent in thought, Li Tingcheng opened his mouth to urge.

But the fifth Tingyun shook his head and said perfunctorily: "No need, probably I remembered it wrong." ”

Since Li Tingcheng was not involved in this matter, there was no need for Fifth Tingyun to tell her. From another point of view, he really doesn't want the person he desperately rescued will stand on his absolute opposite side in the future, he respects Princess Allure very much, admires Princess Allure's personality, and he doesn't want to be an enemy from the bottom of his heart.

Therefore, the best choice is to hide it from her to the end.

This is an unavoidable grudge between him and the royal family, and now that Li Chengcheng is not in the royal family's camp, he is naturally much more comfortable.

"Princess, it's windy in the mountains, let's go back. ”

There was a gust of wind blowing in the forest, and Jian Yi shivered slightly when he saw the princess of Allure dressed in light veil, and hurriedly brought the torch closer, and said.

Li Tingcheng glanced at the fifth Tingyun twice, and found that the fifth Tingyun didn't mean to answer, so he didn't force it anymore. In addition, he was indeed thinly dressed when he came out today, so he nodded, and then said to the fifth Tingyun: "You can go back too, the injury has not healed, and you still need to cultivate a lot." ”

"Her Royal Highness Princess Xie cares. The fifth Tingyun bowed slightly.

Jian Yi led the way, and Li Chengcheng dragged his long skirt and turned around and walked towards the camp.

"Princess ......"

Li Chengcheng walked not far away, and the fifth heard a shout from the cloud exit. But after Li Chengcheng stopped, he swallowed the words that came back to his mouth, and changed his words: "Congratulations to the princess." ”

Li Chengcheng didn't stay any longer, and walked into the jungle accompanied by Jian Yi.

Looking at the fire that gradually faded away and slowly disappeared into the dense forest, Fifth Tingyun sighed, he originally wanted to remind Li Tingcheng to be careful of his situation, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was really redundant. Li Chengcheng grew up in a royal environment, although he can still maintain some valuable qualities that are different from those of the upper echelons, but it is really hard to say what will happen in the future. Besides, Li Chengcheng's environment is due to it, he has been affected since he was a child, and he knows more about some intrigues than him.

"Your own affairs are still a mess, and you still have the leisure to take care of others, the fifth listening to the clouds, you are really idle. With a self-deprecating remark, he turned around again, looked at the pile of tombs in front of him, and his thoughts drifted far, far away for a while.
