"That Zijin also dared to ask Niangniang a question, will the emperor follow your advice?"

Yuehua was stunned for a moment, and then shook her head bitterly.

Zijin said categorically: "Originally, I did have this intention, and I hope that Niangniang can reach the heavens." But when you talk about Lu Bo, it can be seen that the man has spread his power to the emperor's side, if the emperor hears about it and investigates this matter with great fanfare, will it alarm the other party and then kill them all?

After all, I still have the last glimmer of hope for my father, hoping that he just hasn't found the right opportunity now, so he hasn't shown up, but in fact he is still alive.

Niangniang, I don't want the emperor to know about this matter for the time being. What's more, a letter from my father alone doesn't mean anything, what if the emperor doesn't believe it at all? Can you wait for Zijin to find his father, we know what happened back then, and then show the emperor? ”

Yuehua thought about it and felt that Zijin's concerns were indeed reasonable. There are too many people around Mo Guhan who are scheming, and if he is not careful, revealing a little rumor will be detrimental to Zijin's father. The other side's forces are too large, and the enemy is in the dark, and it is indeed not wise for me to investigate in the open and with great fanfare.

Today's Mo Guhan is afraid that he will not follow his advice. Besides, even if he is willing to investigate the case secretly, it will also be handed over to his brother-in-law to handle, and the road will be the same.

Yuehua gritted her teeth and nodded: "Okay, let's hide this matter for the time being, first look for Uncle Qiu's whereabouts together, and then make a decision when we have clues and investigate the events of the year." ”

The plan has been decided, Zijin can no longer bear the thousands of grievances accumulated in his heart, and throws himself into Yuehua's arms, crying heartily.

Chu Mubai was starry when he returned to Fenglin. He was so tired that he hadn't had time for dinner.

Xiangshen was taking care of Chu Jiu to change the dressing, and Zijin volunteered to go to the kitchen to give Chu Mu a hot meal.

Although he was tired and hungry, he was in good spirits and in high spirits. Taking advantage of Zijin's absence, he told Yuehua that he had been tracking down the whereabouts of the people in the Blood Hall all day today, and had obtained a lot of favorable information. Mo Guhan asked him to wipe out all the people in the Blood Hall as soon as possible to ensure Yuehua's safety.

He said for a long time before he found that Yuehua had been silent, obviously absent-minded, and his face was preoccupied, so he asked her with concern if something had happened.

It just so happened that Zijin came in with the food, Chu Mubai stopped, said "thank you", and took the meal and devoured it.

Zijin poured a cup of tea from the side and handed it to Chu Mubai: "Brother Mubai, eat slowly." ”

Chu Mubai was stunned for a moment, feeling that it was a little strange for her to call herself like this, raised her eyes to look at her, and lowered her head to continue eating. Soon the wind swept away the clouds and ate the food cleanly.

Zijin stepped forward to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, Yuehua pulled her to sit down in front of her, and asked Chu Mubai: "Brother Mubai, do you know who Zijin is?" ”

Chu Mubai was a little inexplicable: "Zijin is naturally Zijin." ”

Yuehua shook his head: "Zijin's surname is Qiu, not from Kaifeng, but from Luoyang." ”

Chu Mubai turned his head and raised his eyebrows, and said suspiciously: "Surname Qiu? Luoyang? Dovetails? Are you ......?"

Before they could speak, their eyes were already red again. Yuehua nodded solemnly: "Zijin is Uncle Qiu's daughter, we knew each other when we were young. ”

Chu Mubai suddenly stood up: "Why didn't you say it earlier?" ”

Yuehua held back her tears and choked up: "Zijin has no choice but to do this. ”

After that, in Chu Mubai's puzzled face, he took out the letter and showed it to him, and then recounted the cause and effect without concealing it.

When Chu Mubai heard this, it was like five thunders!

He froze in place, looking at Yuehua and Zijin beads in tears, crying so much that pear blossoms brought rain, his fists were clenched, his eyes were also scarlet, his forehead was bruised, and his teeth were gritted "gurgling".

"Back then, I wondered, my father, who was brave and good at fighting, and full of wisdom, how could he fall for the tricks of the Xiliang people and end up in such a defeat? It turned out to be murdered! ”

"Cang'er Mountain Snow Sea is a station, and none of the 6,000 elite soldiers survived, so none of us know what happened at the beginning. Now I can only count on my brother to secretly find his father's lieutenants to ask for some clues.

Also, why did Ruber, who guarded his parents' mausoleum last year, not say goodbye, and why was he hunted down by the people of the Blood Hall, and what happened in the maple forest at that time? This is full of suspicions, but the hateful Yuehua has been kept in the dark for several years, so that his father has been wronged for several years, and he can't rest in peace under Jiuquan. ”

Yuehua was full of guilt and said in annoyance.

"No wonder Ruber was assassinated by the other party, could it be that it has something to do with Uncle Qiu? At the beginning, Uncle Qiu came to worship his father and told him the secrets of the year, so the people of the Blood Hall would definitely not leave a living mouth. ”

When Chu Mubai said this, his voice stopped abruptly, because he had discovered something that shocked him extremely much.

According to the situation investigated by himself and Shao Ziqing, Chang Zhiyi colluded with the Bloody Hall, and the Bloody Hall was related to Lu Bo's pursuit and killing, and Lu Bo was related to the battle of Cang'er Mountain that year, and Chang Zhiyi was in Xiliang at the beginning!

He didn't dare to continue thinking about it, he felt frightened, he was afraid to continue thinking about it, he couldn't explain it, it was a foregone conclusion.

After all, Chang Zhiyi was picked up by his father-in-law, and he was Yuehua's maternal uncle.

Perhaps, it's just a coincidence.

Yuehua saw that his face changed suddenly, his fists were clenched, his forehead was bruised, he gritted his teeth and was silent, a little worried: "Brother Mubai, what's wrong with you?" ”

Chu Mubai was only suspicious now, and he didn't dare to tell Yuehua, he stood up: "I'm fine, but I want to go to the palace immediately." ”

Zijin stepped forward and stopped his castration: "I can't tell the emperor." ”

"Why? You have no idea how serious this is. ”

Zijin stubbornly raised his head and glared at him: "I know that this matter is serious, and it is related to the great enmity of six thousand soldiers, but they are gone, and my father may still be there." ”

Yuehua stepped forward and patiently told him about Zijin's concerns, and Chu Mubai was also a little hesitant.

He thought about it again, gritted his teeth, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, I promise you this matter, I will not show the emperor for the time being, and wait until the matter is clear, and then make plans." But you two have to promise me one thing. ”

"What's the matter?"

"From today onwards, this is up to me. It just so happens that I'm currently investigating the clues of the Blood Hall, and I can take the opportunity to interrogate Ruber. But the two of you, don't take half a step out of this maple forest, let alone go out recklessly to find out the whereabouts of Uncle Qiu, so as not to startle the snake. ”

Yuehua and Zijin glanced at each other, and Zijin shook his head firmly: "The queen mother is in danger, so naturally she shouldn't go out to take risks." But no one knew Zijin, so he automatically asked Ying to follow Brother Mu Bai and investigate the case together. ”

Chu Mubai hesitated for a while, and Yuehua agreed: "Zijin himself is heroic, if you pretend to be your entourage, after all, this matter is secret, we try to do it ourselves, not pretending to others, there are many things Zijin can help you." ”

Chu Mubai pondered for a moment, felt that she was reasonable, and nodded: "Okay!" Deal! ”

From the next day, Zijin really became Chu Mubai's personal guard, dressed in green clothes, with bright eyebrows, a face like a crown of jade, holding a purple gold short knife, and a heroic and suave little brother.

Zijin and Chu Mubai went out early and returned late, wearing stars and moons, and when they came back every day, they were dusty and dusty, and they didn't know how to work. The people of the Blood Hall have arrested a lot and interrogated a lot of information, but only Lu Bo has not been heard from, and Zijin's father has no clues, as if he has never appeared in the capital.

Xiangshen didn't know the inside story, but saw Zijin and Chu Mubai inseparable every day, and their hearts were sour and astringent, not the taste.

She has admired Chu Mubai for many years, although Chu Mubai had already confessed her heart to Yuehua neatly that day, and she also heard it clearly on the side, but feelings, where is it said to pick it up and put it down?

She is still gentle and considerate to Chu Mubai and takes care of her meticulously. But she kept her duty and never overstepped it, and her kindness to Chu Mubai was just right. A discerning person can see her mind at a glance, but Chu Mubai can't refuse.

In this regard, Yuehua didn't want to say much, Xiangshen was her maidservant and her relatives, and she also thought that Chu Mubai was the best destination for Xiangshen. They haven't been together for a long time, and one day, Chu Mubai will see Xiangshen's goodness and gradually cultivate feelings. Like, she and Mo Guhan.

But gradually, Yuehua found that Zijin's eyes when he looked at Chu Mubai were also hazy, and he had a little more admiration. After all, a young hero like Chu Mubai, which young girl doesn't love it?

As a result, the relationship between Zijin and Xiangshen has gradually become delicate, and Chu Mubai is between the two, and he is often a little embarrassed.

Many days have passed, and there is still no progress, and Yuehua is a little anxious.

"The capital is only so big, and Lu Bo's body is inconvenient, how can he not find such an obvious feature? Unless, he has already left the capital. ”

Regarding Yuehua's suspicions, Chu Mubai also agreed: "It is so dangerous to stay in the capital, Lu Bo should be aware of the fear of his life, so he has already left." ”

"How can that be good, Chang'an is so big, the sea of people is vast, where to find it? What's more, if you keep delaying like this, it will inevitably change, and the other party will be the first to strike. ”

Yuehua pondered for a moment, raised her face, and said categorically: "Since Lu Bo intends to hide his whereabouts, even if we search all over Chang'an, it will be useless, it is better to let him take the initiative to come to us." ”

"Come to us?" Zijin was a little strange: "If he dares to come, I'm afraid he will come a long time ago." ”

Yuehua shook his head: "Just for Lu Bo's Qingming Festival, I spent all the silver money on my body and begged the shopkeeper of the wine shop to exchange for a jar of good wine to pay tribute to my father, which also shows that Lu Bo still misses my father's affection in his heart."

If he really knew something, he would definitely find a way to tell us. Perhaps, he also thinks the same as Zijin, because the stakes are so high, so no one believes it, even Brother Mubai. What's more, the last time you led troops to search his whereabouts everywhere, so many people were killed and injured, it is inevitable that people will be misunderstood. But I, he should always believe it. ”

Chu Mubai was taken aback: "You want to use yourself as bait?" ”
