Xie Mengxia cheered happily and followed Ah Jiu out.

At this time, Han Changdu, when he went to see Yao Qi again, no matter how he looked at it, he felt that she was a person with evil intentions, he recalled every detail of his acquaintance with Yao Qi, and now when he thinks about it, he is full of deliberate and scheming.

What he could be sure of now was that the tattoo on Yao Qi's leg must have something to do with the Four Holy Sects.

It's just that I don't know what the relationship is, and Yao Qi didn't know about it before.

His gaze at her deepened.

It was decided to try to wake her up first, and then interrogate her slowly.

He is not in a hurry, there is a way to make her tell the truth.

Thinking of this, there was no longer half a trace of pity in his eyes, even when he was in the Greedy Sweat Mountain, Yao Qi once dragged his seriously injured body and used internal force to save him, in his eyes, it also became a bitter ploy to gain his trust.

Xie Mengxia was the first time to come back to Gaochang, full of curiosity about the customs and customs in the city that were completely different from Chang'an, and walked down street by street, Ah Jiu carried it in his hands, carried it on his shoulder, and held it in his arms, which was already full.

He followed behind Xie Mengxia step by step, struggling to hold these things tightly to prevent them from falling, and seeing that Xie Mengxia stopped in front of a stall again, he wailed and said in distress: "Childe, look at me." ”

Xie Mengxia turned around, burst out laughing, and said in a stacked voice: "I forgot, I forgot, you can't take it, it's okay, it's the last one." He picked a silver hairpin from the stall.

The hairpin head is a full moon inlaid with jasper, and a red wall is looming in front of the full moon, and two round rabbits are squatting on the wall, looking up at the full moon in the sky.

He inserted the hairpin into Ah Jiu's bun with his backhand, and nodded with satisfaction: "That's it, boss, how much." ”

The boss was a young silversmith, with two mustaches cocked, very happy, he looked at Ah Jiu's hands full of things, and knew that there was a stupid person with a lot of money, so he pouted in Chinese that was not very fluent, and gestured with his hand: "Ten taels of silver." ”

"How much." Ah Jiu staggered, and the things in his arms almost fell to the ground: "You rob the money, your silver hairpin will only use five coins of silver at most, you dare to ask for ten taels, why don't you grab it." ”

The little silversmith struck heavily with a hammer, his eyes widened, and he said angrily: "You, you Han people have, there is a saying, called Ming, yes, clearly marked the price, Tong Su is not bullied, and I didn't force you to buy it." ”

Seeing that there was going to be a fight, Xie Mengxia hurriedly snorted and handed over ten taels of silver: "Oh, don't quarrel, don't quarrel, isn't it just ten taels of silver, for you, what can be solved with silver is not a matter, don't quarrel, be angry and make money." ”

"......" Ah Jiu looked at the sky speechlessly.

People are stupid and have a lot of money, what else can he say.

The sun was slowly turning westward, Ah Jiu really couldn't hold it, and Xie Mengxia was also tired of shopping, so he waved his hand and walked back.

After entering the backyard, Ah Jiu couldn't open the door, so he had to kick the door open with his foot, and poured all the things on the big kang.

Han Changdui was taken aback and said in surprise: "Why did you buy so much." ”

Xie Mengxia walked in happily and said with a smile: "This is still a lot." He plucked the hairpin from Ah Jiu's head, rubbed it on his hand, and gestured a few times on Yao Ji's head: "This is for Ah Jiu, is it good-looking?" ”

"Beautiful." Han Changdui sighed again and again, instructed Ah Jiu to prepare the twilight meal, turned to Xie Mengxia and said, "Your Highness, you bought so much, how can we take it away." ”

Xie Mengxia didn't feel embarrassed at all, and grinned: "Jiuchao, you just can't enjoy the blessings, I've thought about it, let's buy a high car and drive to Qiuzi Country." ”

Han Changwan choked up and nodded with difficulty, reluctantly agreeing with the matter.

They rushed to Gaochang with all odds, not to eat and drink, but to get down to business, Ah Jiu sent the twilight food in, and Han Changdui ordered: "Go and check whether there have been a large number of baggage carts or camel horse teams entering the city in the past few months, and whether there is a large amount of cash in the money in the city." ”

Ah Jiu hurriedly claimed yes and withdrew.

Xie Mengxia frowned slightly, and asked puzzledly: "Jiuchao, do you think that the silver will enter Gaochang City." ”

Han Changdui pondered for a moment before he said, "Along the way, I have carefully explored and found this at the gate of the city. ”

He stretched out his hand, and in his hand lay a black object, half the size of a palm, covered with dry yellow sand and dirt, obscuring its original appearance.

Xie Mengxia was very surprised, picked it up and looked at it, wiped off the soil stuck to the surface with his cuffs, and exclaimed: "Sinan, it's Sinan." ”

Han Changwan nodded, his face gloomy, he didn't expect it to be Si Nan again, as if something was guiding him in the dark.

He took out another small piece of Sinan from his sleeve, put it together with the piece in Xie Mengxia's hand, laughed at himself, and said in a somewhat unkind tone: "This piece of Sinan was found by Ah Qi in Changle Mountain, look at it, what is the difference between the two." ”

Xie Mengxia picked it up and looked at it carefully, and saw the silver light from Sinan's fracture, he was stunned for a moment: "These two pieces of Sinan are no different, they are both glowing with silver light." His brows furrowed extremely tightly: "I don't remember that Sinan is glowing with silver light." ”

Han Changdui breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "The piece of Sinan that Ah Ji found, Gu Chen has seen it, it was mined in the mouth of the Cishan mine fifteen years ago, the mine mouth has already been sealed, and the mined Sinan should have been consumed, and this kind of silver-glowing Sinan is pointing in the opposite direction of ordinary Sinan." ”

"On the contrary." Xie Mengxia was stunned and exclaimed: "How can it be the opposite, there are two Sinan cars in the baggage car, it won't be that the two Sinan cars are like this, this is someone in the DPRK and China who should cooperate with foreign enemies." ”

When this piece of Sinan was found at the gate of the city, in the first year that Han Changdui came out, it was indeed someone who cooperated with the outside and forcibly seized the baggage car.

But when he got here, he changed his mind after discovering the connection between Yao Qi and the Four Holy Sects.

How could there be such a coincidence in this world, in Changle Mountain, it was confirmed that the rut marks belonged to the baggage team, and they went all the way to the fifth beacon, entered Qingnibo, and found the remains of the soldiers.

And all this stems from the Sinan fragment found by Yao Qi.

What if the fragment was originally brought by Yao Qi, used to confuse people's eyes?

Then all this is just a trap.

In silence, his suspicions have been allowed to the maximum, and he no longer trusts this person who has been with him all the way.

He used the twilight food slowly and methodically, and did not hesitate to speculate with the greatest malice and suspicion.

After a long time, he sighed and said slowly: "This case, there must be someone who should cooperate with the outside, once it is opened, the DPRK and China will definitely be turbulent, but I don't know who the people behind the scenes will choose to keep and who to give up." ”

Xie Mengxia took a thoughtful sip of soup and did not speak.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and Ah Jiu hurriedly came in, bowed down and said, "Shizi, the letter that just came from Jingli." ”

As he spoke, he handed over a snow-white wax pill, sealed intact.

Han Changdui waved his hand to let Ah Jiu retreat, only then did he twist the wax pill, unfold the paper roll, and read it slowly, suddenly escaping a sneer, cold and relished, like the wind in the cold winter wax moon.

Xie Mengxia shuddered, looked over, but after reading it, he smiled casually, and said indifferently: "What should I do to make you angry like this." ”

Han Changdui sneered: "Your Highness is not angry, I am not angry." ”

Xie Mengxia raised his eyebrows: "When the news of our disappearance in Mohe Yanqi spreads back, he will definitely not be able to sit still, such a good time, if you don't do something, there will be a ghost, but what I didn't expect is that he didn't attack the subordinate officials of the East Palace, why did he move Jin Wuwei first." ”

Han Changwei sneered: "If he attacks the subordinate officials of the East Palace at this time, he will be suspected of falling into the well, but he will not mobilize Jin Wuwei, His Royal Highness was demoted from Beijing, he is a logical supervisor of the country, and no one will feel that there is anything wrong with moving Jin Wuwei." He paused slightly, and continued to sneer: "When someone notices that something is wrong, the defense of the capital has already fallen into his hands." ”

Xie Mengxia pursed his lips: "He was originally the most suitable person to sit in that seat, far more suitable than me, but I occupied a long position and stood in his way, it is normal for him to be unwilling." ”

Han Changdui glanced at Xie Mengxia and sighed: "Who is suitable and who is not suitable, he has the will of the people to decide, but he should not use this kind of unsightly means, for the monarch should be frank and unrestrained, privately provoke party disputes, and use the turmoil in the court to eliminate dissidents, this is not the mind that a person who serves the country and the people should have." ”

Xie Mengxia chuckled: "Jiuchao, relax, you are always such a serious person who worries about the country and the people, be careful of overwork." ”

Han Changdui sighed and glanced at Xie Mengxia angrily.

Xie Mengxia smiled: "We are cousins, I know that you are looking for me in your heart, but in the eyes of the world, I am the No. 1 gentleman in Tianzi, and I am not worthy of sitting in that seat, besides." His expression suddenly darkened, and he whispered a little lonely: "Besides, I don't want to be that lonely person." ”

Han Changwan reached out and patted Xie Mengxia's shoulder.

He knew the hidden pain in Xie Mengxia's heart, when Empress Yuan died, the saint had not yet ascended the throne, just an idle Yan King who was far away in Youzhou, and the family was trembling and did not dare to come forward, for fear of provoking the suspicion of the saint and the prince at that time.

Later, the crown prince fell, and in order to balance the forces of all parties, the first emperor redressed the unjust case of the former prince and set up the orphan of the former prince as the emperor's grandson.

Later, the first emperor died, the crown prince succeeded to the throne, the rebellion of the nine kings, Xie Mengxia was stationed in Youzhou, resisting foreign enemies to raise grain and grass, Xie Huiming followed the king of Yan to fight everywhere, clear the war, and appease the people's livelihood.

In those eventful years, although the father and son were in a difficult and difficult situation, they were full of dangers, but they were enough to work together.
