Zheng Lun lowered his eyes and said, "I'll send you ashore." ”

Chen Nian was a little surprised, and couldn't help but be stunned. Zheng Lun didn't speak anymore, only skillfully manipulating the boat. After a while, the boat reached the river. Chen Nian jumped to the shore, turned to look at Zheng Lun, hesitated, but thanked him: "Thank you." ”

Zheng Lun was silent for a moment, and then asked, "Where are you going?"

Chen Nian misunderstood that he was afraid that he would run away, so he said: "Don't worry, even if you want to leave, I will also ask Feng Junyang for clarification before leaving, and I will never let you be affected by me." ”

After she finished speaking, she hurried away with her head down.

Zheng Lun stood on the boat and looked at her in a daze for a long time before holding the boat away. When the boat was about to reach the center of the river, he inadvertently turned back, but found that there was an extra figure around Chen Nian at some point. Because the distance was far away and it was night, Zheng Lun couldn't see the man's face clearly, but he felt that the man was tall and straight, obviously a young man, walking side by side with Chen Nian, and from time to time he turned his head sideways to look at Chen Nian, as if he was saying something.

Zheng Lun squinted slightly, and after seeing it for a while, he recognized that the person was Lu Xiao, and suddenly understood that she had lied to him before coming to Chennian, and she was not alone by the river, but with Lu Xiao. He suddenly felt that he had been deceived by her again, and he couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, and with a little force in his hand, he actually pinched the handle of the oar to pieces.

said that Chen Nian and Lu Xiao were two on the shore, Lu Xiao looked at Chen Nian's face was very ugly, and couldn't help asking: "What's the matter, I see that the person on the boat seems to be He Ze, it is really the He family who came to sneak attack,"

"It's Heze." Chen Nian briefly told Lu Xiao what happened on the ship. After saying this, she looked up at him, and suddenly asked, "Do you know the whereabouts of my stepfather?"

Lu Xiao is a person trusted by Tuoba Yao, and he knows where Mu Zhanyue is now, but this matter is very important, and he is not good at talking to Chen Nian, so he replied: "I know, but without the permission of the king, I can't tell you yet." ”

Chen Nian knew his difficulties as a retainer, nodded slowly, and said, "I understand." ”

Lu Xiao smiled apologetically at her and said, "But there is one thing I can tell you, Lord Qiu Muling is very good at the moment, you don't have to worry about him." ”

Chen Nian was silent for a while, but then asked, "Is the Murong Department very trusted by Tuoba Yao?"

Lu Xiao replied: "The king relies heavily on the Murong Department, otherwise the resistance after Yun Sheng is established will not be so great. ”

Chen Nian stopped and looked at Lu Xiao and said, "My life history has been revealed, according to He Ze, I learned from the Murong Department that it was my father-in-law who brought Yun Sheng to the royal court. I now wonder why the Murong Ministry leaked such news, and how did they know if it was from Tuoba Yao or ...... Fan Jingyun used a trick in the middle. ”

Lu Xiao was silent for a moment when he heard this, and asked Chen Nian: "Do you suspect that it is Feng Junyang,"

Chen Nian smiled bitterly, "This matter is most beneficial to him." ”

Lu Xiao thought about it for a while, but said fairly: "Stopping Yun Sheng's future affairs is indeed Feng Junyang's obstruction. As for the leakage of your identity, there is no sufficient evidence that he did it. ”

Chen Nian was a little surprised when he heard this, turned his head to look at Lu Xiao twice, but smiled unconsciously, and said, "This is the difference between you and Feng Junyang." If it were him, he wouldn't have answered me like that. ”

Lu Xiaoqi said: "How will he answer you?"

Chen Nian thought about it and said with a smile: "He clearly said that it wasn't you, but when he heard it, it would make people think it was you." ”

Lu Xiao smiled heartily and said, "A manly man, you should be frank and,"

Chen Nian nodded, and asked Lu Xiao again: "Who knows that Yun Sheng was brought to the royal court by my stepfather,"

Lu Xiao replied: "This matter is extremely confidential, except for the king and me, the dozen or so guards who followed Lord Qiu Muling at that time. Although those guards were all trusted by the king, the hearts of the people were unpredictable, and no one could guarantee that these people were absolutely trustworthy. Since the Murong Department is bent on stopping Wang Li Yunsheng as the queen, he must go to find out where Yun Sheng came from, so it is also possible to know Lord Qiu Muling. ”

Chen Nian heard something else from it, thought for a moment, and said: "My stepfather is not in Shangjing at the moment, and he has changed his name and surname, isn't it?"

Lu Xiao was very surprised when he heard this, and asked, "How do you know," as soon as this question came out, he couldn't help but laugh first, and said, "I forgot, you are so smart, you must have guessed from my words." ”

"It's easy to guess, if it weren't for this, how could his identity not be leaked until now." Chen Nian paused, frowned slightly, and said: "It's just that I still don't understand a lot of things, since he is my mother's guard, my mother has only been dead for twenty years, there should be people in the royal court who know my mother and father-in-law, why Qiu Mu Lingyue doesn't seem to know the name, and it hasn't been leaked until now,"

Lu Xiao looked at her twice, hesitated for a moment, and replied, "Because Qiu Mu Lingyue is not his real name." ”

This sentence made Chen Nian too stunned, she was stunned for a moment, and then subconsciously asked, "It's not his real name,"

It was Mu Zhanyue who Lu Xiao found first, and the situation was the clearest, he thought that this matter should no longer be hidden from Chen Nian, so he said to her: "Do you know that your father-in-law is also half Han blood,"

Chen Nian shook his head blankly, "I don't know." ”

Lu Xiao said: "His father is Han, and his mother is from the Sugu clan, that is, your mother's maternal family. His name when he followed your mother was Su Gu Yue. However, when the princess went south, she concealed her identity, and he should have changed his name, as for what that name was, I don't know. ”

Chen Nian was speechless for a long time, she lived with Mu Zhanyue for sixteen years, called him his stepfather for more than ten years, and only now did she know that she didn't know anything about him. His past with his mother is only hidden in his memory, and he never wants to confide in her.

Chen Nian suddenly smiled self-deprecatingly, and said to himself: "It's really not easy for him to raise me. ”

Lu Xiao didn't know why she suddenly said such a sentence, and seeing her stunned expression, he was a little worried in his heart, and called out to her: "Chen Nian,"

Chen Nian raised his face and smiled at him, "I'm fine. ”

The two walked side by side for a while, but Lu Xiao said suddenly: "If you suspect that Feng Junyang has revealed your life experience, I will go to check this matter for you when I return to Beijing, if it is really what he did, there will always be traces." ”

Chen Nian shook his head and said softly: "You don't need to check, I'll go back and ask Feng Junyang." ”

Lu Xiao glanced at her and nodded, "It's okay." ”

At this time, the sky has gradually brightened, and you can vaguely see the Yiping city wall in the distance. Chen Nian raised his eyes to look at the towering city tower, stopped, and said to Lu Xiao: "You don't have to send me into the city, take the spirit sparrow with you." ”

Lu Xiao looked at her for a moment, but asked, "If it is really Feng Junyang's doing, what should you do?"

Chen Nian's face shook a trace of confusion, and said, "To be honest, I don't know what to do." Actually, whether this matter was done by him, I already have the answer in my heart. It's just that I can't give up and want to go to him for an answer. ”

After hearing this, Lu Xiao wanted to persuade her to go with him, but he opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to say it. Seeing him like this, Chen Nian raised his spirit and smiled at him, and arched his hand and said: "Say goodbye to you today, and look forward to seeing you again in the future, cherish,"

After finishing speaking, he didn't look at Lu Xiao again, and ran to Yiping City with light skills. Lu Xiao stood in place for a moment, but he couldn't rest assured, and he was busy chasing after him. It's just that Chen's young skills are very good, and after such a while, he has already gone far. Lu Xiao chased straight outside the city gate, but he couldn't catch up with Chen Nian.

Chen Nian walked all the way and went straight into the city, and just arrived outside the gate of the city guard's mansion, he happened to bump into Feng Junyang coming out of the mansion. Feng Junyang saw Chen Nian at a glance, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly walked towards her, and only slowed down his steps until he got closer, but the corners of his lips involuntarily curled, and asked her with a smile: "You're back,"

Chen Nian was silent, just stood there and looked at him silently.

Feng Junyang is such a well-behaved person, and he can see at a glance that Chen Nian's expression is wrong. It's just that he didn't know that Chen Nian saw He Ze last night, and when she was like this because of Lu Xiao, he saw that her eyes were slightly red, her face was haggard, and her heart was slightly sour, so he whispered: "It's good that you can go back here, and you will go back all night, but I'm afraid that I won't be angry." ”

Although he complained, his tone was still so intimate, Chen Nian only felt a hidden pain in his heart, reluctantly smiled at him, and asked him, "You want to go out,"

"Last night, the army sent news that the He family had a warship coming to the east, and I had to go over and take a look." Feng Junyang said, reaching out to stroke Chen Nian's somewhat scattered sideburns. I didn't want Chen Nian to turn his head sideways and avoid his hand. Feng Junyang was slightly stunned, his hand stiffened in mid-air for a moment, and then he asked her softly, "What's wrong, what's the temper?"

Chen Nian raised his head slightly to look at him and said, "Ace, I ask you something, you may tell me the truth,"

Her words and deeds were too strange, which made Feng Junyang feel inexplicably apprehensive in his heart, he subconsciously shook Chen Nian's hand and asked, "What's the matter?"

Chen Nian stared into his eyes and asked, "My father-in-law's identity, but you asked Fan Jingyun to leak it to the Murong Ministry,"

Feng Junyang's eyes tightened, he looked at Chen Nian silently for a moment, but he curled his lips and smiled lightly, and asked her: "Lu Xiao told you, do you believe me or him?"

The last glimmer of hope in Chen Nian's heart was also shattered, she slowly closed her eyes, looked at Feng Junyang again, and said in an astringent voice: "I only ask if you are or not,"

Feng Junyang replied in a deep voice: "No, I didn't do it,"

Chen Nian nodded, wanting to withdraw his hand from his palm, but he held it extremely tightly, so that she couldn't break free, she had to give up this plan, and said softly: "Feng Junyang, I want you to swear to me that you didn't do this,"

"Okay," Feng Jun Yang replied without thinking, raised his right hand, and swore an oath: "I, Feng Jun Yang, swear to the heavens, if this matter is done by me, I will not die well,"

Chen Nian smiled faintly at him, but said: "Ace, I don't want you to die well, you say this, if this matter is done by Feng Junyang, then Xie Chennian will have a short life and a good death,"

Feng Junyang's body stiffened suddenly, his throat seemed to be choked, and he couldn't say half a word.
