Chapter 43 The Late Qing Secretary

"Hey, handsome guy, you haven't seen you for a few days, so you don't know me?" When the girl saw that I didn't recognize her, she immediately put on a twisted posture: "It really makes me sad!" ”

"Poof!"

A few grains of rice that I didn't swallow in my mouth squirted out in an instant, and the second uncle looked at me with a playful face: "Xiaorui, who are you?" ”

"No, no, no!" I hurriedly waved my hand and looked at the girl: "That, big sister, no! Beauty, let's not talk nonsense, I only came back from the field yesterday, when did I see you! ”

I don't know if it's because of the clothes, this girl looks bloated, stocky and wild, I went through it in my mind, there is really no such person!

When the girl heard this, her face suddenly changed, and she strode over a few times, stretching out two slender white fingers to support my chin: "You still want to deny it?!" Say, take advantage of me a few times at all! ”

"Hah!" When the girl approached, I could see who she was at a glance, and grabbed the somewhat cold hand: "Don't deny it, I'll warm your hands!" ”

"Smack!"

"Ouch!"

The girl stomped on my foot, which was only wearing cotton slippers, and grinned in pain: "Liang Ruoyi, Liang Ruoyi, what did I say!" ”

"Humph!" The girl took off the sunglasses that covered half of her face, who else could it be if it wasn't Liang Ruoyi: "If I see you and beat you once, I won't be able to solve my hatred!" ”

"Whoa, I thought it was!" The second uncle laughed and said, "It turned out to be Miss Liang, if you don't show your true face again, I will have to go upstairs to avoid it!" ”

"What are you going to do?" I looked at Liang Ruoyi with a bitter face: "Still dressed like this, I thought it was Sun Miaomiao!" Hey, don't mind, you're a girl, don't hit people at every turn, okay! ”

"Humph!" Liang Ruoyi glanced at me, sat on the sofa, and warmed her hands with the tea that her second uncle poured for her: "This time, there are two things. The first one is about Chai Lao Wu and them. ”

"Chai Lao Wu?" I was stunned for a moment, and while peeling off the second zongzi and filling it into my mouth: "What's wrong with them?" ”

"The identities of these people are a little special." The ice beauty ignored my existence: "According to the investigation during this time, it was found that they may be the descendants of the six great secretaries of the late Qing Dynasty!" ”

"The Six Secretaries?" The second uncle frowned: "I've heard of it, but I heard it in the mouth of Mr. Storyteller, and I always thought it was made up, is there really one?" ”

"Yes, there is." Liang Ruoyi said: "Qing Xuanzong, that is, during the Daoguang period, because of the influx of opium, which endangered the rule of the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Daoguang began to use various means to ban smoking, and achieved good results, such as Lin Zexu. However, after the ban on smoking, it caused a lot of losses to the interests of the great powers, and at that time, Britain, France and other countries planned several secret operations to assassinate Emperor Daoguang. ”

"And this kind of thing?" I chewed on the fragrant rice dumplings: "Beauty, you can also go to tell stories!" ”

If it weren't for the second uncle here, it is estimated that Liang Ruoyi would have thrown the teacup in his hand in my face: "In order to ensure his own safety, Emperor Daoguang selected six people from the pro-guard army, who are the 'six secret servants', and have hereditary qualifications, almost like the six major families." These six secretaries, generally the emperor will choose two to take with him every time he travels, and the other four are protected in the dark, because every time he travels, the emperor makes a decision before leaving who to bring with him, so to a certain extent, it also eliminates the opportunity for the six secretaries to rebel. ”

"Could it be that Miss Liang means that the five Chai Lao Wu are the descendants of the six secretaries?" The second uncle only heard Chai Lao Wu and them from my mouth, but he didn't see them.

"Not bad." Liang Ruoyi said: "These six secretaries were six people who didn't know each other before, and they began to understand each other slowly after becoming secretaries. When it was passed to Emperor Guangxu, the six secretaries had basically become the emperor's most trusted people. ”

"During the Daoguang period, it should have been around 1840, and it should have been passed to Emperor Guangxu, it should have been around 1880, and it should have been passed down for two generations." The second uncle groaned: "In this way, Chai Lao Wu, Zhou Jun and Sun Miaomiao, who are about forty years old, should be the fifth or sixth generation of the six secretaries. ”

"Almost, because there are very few books recorded by the six secretaries, and there is almost no mention in the historical materials, it is difficult to find the historical traces of these six secretaries." Liang Ruoyi drank all the tea in the cup and poured another cup unceremoniously: "After the Hundred Days Restoration, the imperial power returned to the hands of the Empress Dowager Cixi again, and Emperor Guangxu was placed under house arrest in Zhongnanhai. And the general trend has gone, and Emperor Guangxu, who has fallen next to the imperial power, began his final struggle after being placed under house arrest. ”

"Hanjia?!" I swallowed the last bite of zongzi: "Does Emperor Guangxu want to find a set of Han armor, and then bury him alive, so that his Aixinjue Luo clan can prosper Longyun?" ”

"Well, you're not stupid!" Liang Ruoyi teased me and nodded: "That's right, when the Han armor was passed to the Qing Dynasty, there were few pieces left in the hands of Aixinjue Luo, after Emperor Guangxu was placed under house arrest, he felt that he was defenseless and trapped internally and externally, so he could only hope to be able to find six pieces of Han armor, the first is to get the secret, and the second is to bury a full set of Han armor with himself to bury it alive, so as to revitalize the dragon luck of the Qing Dynasty." ”

"So, this matter is left to the six secretaries." I continued to interject.

"yes." Bing Meiren glared at me: "Emperor Guangxu knew that if Lafayette wanted to kill him, the six secretaries alone would not be able to save him at all, so he simply sent all six people out to find Han Jia." It's just that until the death of Emperor Guangxu, his last wish was not fulfilled. ”

"That's something that reminds me." The second uncle sighed: "When Lafayette was seriously ill with Emperor Guangxu, Guangxun who was lying on the couch once secretly prayed that he would die behind Lafayette, because in this way, he would be able to give the last order before he died, and kill Yuan Shikai and Li Lianying." Who knew that this wish somehow reached the ears of Lafayette, this ruthless strong woman began to compete with Guangxu, and really died behind Emperor Guangxu, and established the new emperor Xuantong, that is, Puyi. According to what Miss Liang said, it is estimated that Emperor Guangxu wanted to die behind Lafayette at that time, not only to kill Yuan Shikai and Li Lianying, but also to be buried in the Hanjia tomb with her and himself after Lafayette's death. It's just that until he died, he didn't get Hanjia. ”

I glanced at the second uncle, and suddenly remembered something in my heart: if Chai Lao Wu and they are the descendants of the six secret servants, they should know the secrets of the ten secret realms hidden in the Han Jia. In other words, the second uncle's guess about the iron box left by his grandfather to Qingyue Taoist is correct. Hidden in the iron box are the secrets of the Ten Secret Realms. Otherwise, Chai Lao Wu and they would not wait for the iron box and not let go.

"But there are only five of them, plus Sun Hu and Sun Bao are twin brothers." I stretched out my fingers and counted, "That is, there are only four people, and what about two?" Is it the end? ”

"Then I don't know." Liang Ruoyi shrugged.

I didn't tell the Seventh Master about the iron box, and Liang Ruoyi naturally didn't know. Now I think that decision was too prescient. Otherwise, the first target of this group of people would immediately be transferred to the iron box in the hands of Qingyue Daoist.

There is one more thing, why did my grandfather Gu Xiansheng get the iron box? From this point of view, the people who chased and killed him at that time should be the six secretaries.

"In this way, you and Chai Lao Wu have become mortal enemies." The second uncle smiled: "I heard Xiaorui say yesterday that the twin brothers are dead, and now there are only three of them left, so it is easier to deal with." ”

Liang Ruoyi nodded: "But those three people are all masters, and they can't be underestimated." ”

I sat on the side and kept thinking about whether to tell Xu Zeming about this. Now I'm conflicted, I really want to rely on Xu Zeming to quit this team and live the life I want. However, I'm not sure if I helped Xu Zeming, whether he would have killed me as well. At that time, if you lose your wife and lose your soldiers, you will be guilty of your own sin. Taking a step back, Xu Ze knew that Chai Lao Wu didn't know about their existence?

After thinking about it, I decided not to tell him about it.
