Chapter 149: The Past Is Like Smoke

"Uncle Meng, what the hell is going on?" Lu Hanjiang couldn't help but ask.

Meng Yuan paused and said: "It doesn't hurt to tell you, this matter is related to the first prince, Luo Yuanjing lived in seclusion in Jiangnan before he entered the court as an official, calling himself Mr. Baimei, teaching a few disciples on weekdays, fiddling with some Danqing calligraphy and paintings, etc., the first prince also went to the land of Jiangnan to visit him a year before he was killed." ”

Mr. Baimei, this name Lu Hanjiang is familiar, he squinted his eyes and asked, "Uncle Meng, is that the crown princess ......?"

Meng Yuan looked at him and said, "Yes, the crown princess was one of Luo Yuanjing's disciples when he was in Jiangnan, and the first prince also taught her privately at that time. ”

"Even so, there doesn't seem to be anything to hide from this?" Lu Hanjiang was puzzled, if it was just like that, it was just a little ugly, why talk about "being honest".

Meng Yuan continued: "The prince of a country lingers on a woman from a family of rivers and lakes, and stays in Jiangnan and does not return, what do you think Your Majesty will do about this kind of thing?" ”

"Your Majesty is furious, beating the mandarin ducks?" Lu Hanjiang tried to guess.

"No," Meng Yuan looked at Lu Hanjiang's eyes a little helpless, he shook his head and said: "Your Majesty doesn't care about this matter, but what happened later was unexpected by Your Majesty, the crown princess was pregnant, so the old man rushed to Jiangnan overnight to take care of this matter." ”

"This ......" Lu Hanjiang was really a little puzzled, even if it didn't sound good to say, but it wouldn't be such a fuss, right? The prince is fooling around outside, and the old emperor doesn't care about the face of the royal court, at this time, for the sake of an illegitimate child whose mother is not obvious, let the Jinyi guard command the envoy to run this trip in person?

"The old man personally went to Jiangnan to confirm the existence of the child, and the prince was also brought back to the capital."

Speaking of this, Meng Yuan's tone was a little calmer: "Then you also know what happened, the crown prince was killed in the capital, the crown princess disappeared along with the newborn child, the crown princess returned to the emperor's house five years ago, but the whereabouts of the child are still unknown, until half a year ago, Qiao Shifang put on the identity of His Royal Highness Yu to Qin Yu." ”

Lu Hanjiang seemed to grasp the crux of the problem, and he asked, "Uncle Meng, when the imperial grandson was born, you were also in Jiangnan?" ”

Meng Yuan pondered for a moment, then bowed his head and said, "Yes, when the child was born, the old man was in Jiangnan. ”

Speaking of this, Lu Hanjiang finally understood what Luo Fuzi was thinking, and he said with a smile: "Just because Uncle Meng and you are also present, Luo Fuzi thinks that you are stealing the sky and hiding the real emperor and grandson?" ”

Meng Yuan pondered for a while, and said surgingly: "Although the situation is unclear now, the identity of His Royal Highness Yu is doubtful, Luo Yuanjing is afraid that he has already decided that Qin Yu is not the real His Highness Yu, so he suspects the old man, and he has refused to give up all these years." ”

"This old man is probably too stubborn."

Lu Hanjiang was a little helpless, just as Luo Yuanjing suspected Qiao Shifang's death, this old man's inference about Meng Yuan's private collection of the grandson also had no substantive reason, and it was all based on his own thoughts.

Although Qiao Shifang's death may have a disgraceful connection with him, it is said that Commander Meng left the crown prince orphan......

Lu Hanjiang licked his lips and asked, "Uncle Meng, you won't really ......"

Meng Yuan slapped Lu Hanjiang's head expressionlessly, and the latter smiled and didn't continue to ask.

"When the crown princess took the child away, the old man also traced it, but most of the clues were lost in the end to the sea, and only the last one pointed to the Xuantian Sect."

Meng Yuan's eyes flashed with a hint of fierceness that he hadn't seen for a long time: "The old man has not lost in his life, only this Xuantian Sect leader, the old man is not sure to defeat him." ”

"The Xuantian Sect Master is so powerful?" Lu Hanjiang was slightly surprised, a character who can get Meng Yuan's evaluation is probably not trivial.

Meng Yuan looked at the pen stand on the table and was slightly distracted, he said: "When tracking the clues of the prince's orphan, the old man once fought with the Xuantian Sect Master, and the old man's martial arts are unspeakably strong, although he has never fought with his life, but if he really fights hard, I am afraid that the old man will be more than lucky." ”

As he spoke, seeing Lu Hanjiang's face showing a different color, Meng Yuan said again: "But you don't have to worry, if that old man is still alive, he will be almost a hundred years old, and under the decay of qi and blood, I am afraid that there will not be a few percent of his martial arts left." ”

But it's a pity that Commander Meng guessed wrong, Lu Hanjiang was not worried about the old man's combat power, but was very interested in the matter itself.

He slapped his palms, feeling that the hot blood in the rivers and lakes he had been immersed in for a long time was boiling, and seeing that Meng Yuan seemed to have the intention of avoiding it, he hurriedly asked: "After that, Uncle Meng, have you tested the depth of his strength?" ”

"No," Meng Yuan shook his head lightly and said contemplatively: "The old man used all the secret sons within the Xuantian Sect to find ways to poison him. ”

“......”

The excitement on Lu Hanjiang's face slowly froze, and the hot blood that had just been ignited quickly cooled.

Although he would probably do the same if he had changed, Lu Hanjiang couldn't help but say, "Uncle Meng, aren't you afraid that others will say that you are despicable?" ”

"The affairs of the imperial court, how can there be anything despicable."

Meng Yuan said with a little regret: "It's a pity that the old horseman's life is hard, and the cost of manpower loss still can't cost his old life, so the old man has to-"

"Fight him in person?" Lu Hanjiang interjected.

Meng Yuan glanced at Lu Hanjiang and said, "No, the old man plans to send a letter to summon the army of the Jinyi Guard, cooperate with the army of the border guard, and directly set foot on the Xuantian Sect with the advantage of numbers." ”

"......" Lu Hanjiang's face froze for the second time, he felt that he had grown to this point, and Old Man Meng was at least half of the responsibility.

Lu Hanjiang, who had completely lost his expectations for the stories of the rivers and lakes, asked: "So, why did you stop later?" ”

Meng Yuan squinted his eyes and said: "The Xuantian Sect has deep roots, and it is not easy to find out all the strongholds, and when the old man sent someone to explore the way, news came from the capital that one of the prince's guards still survived, and he also carried the token jade pendant held by the prince, and some people speculated that the prince's orphan was entrusted to him." ”

"It's the Qi family."

"Yes, because of this incident, it was too coincidental, forcing the old man to be unable to strike a blow at the Xuantian Sect, and His Majesty had an edict, so the old man had to let go of the Xuantian Sect and go back to Beijing to investigate the matter of the Qi family."

There was a feeling that the past was like smoke, Meng Yuan sighed: "The person in the Qi family is hiding deeply, although Jinyiwei found his traces first, but he didn't find the child, a few years later, when he took the initiative to appear, there was already an extra Qin Yu by his side." ”

"In this way, it is indeed a bit deliberate."

Having said that, Lu Hanjiang was still skeptical about the identity of that Qin Yu, but it was not the identity of that grandson, but he felt that the real secret of this person's body was probably not this.

Because there is one thing that Lu Hanjiang has always hidden in his heart, no one has ever told him, not even Meng Yuan knows.

That is, many years ago, he once met Huangfu Ling'er in the capital, although it was only a one-sided relationship, but he must never forget it for the rest of his life.

If Qin Yu is not really His Royal Highness Yu, why would Huangfu Ling'er risk being discovered by Jinyiwei to come to Beijing, in other words, taking such a big risk to come to Beijing, what is the crown princess doing.

No wonder this Huangfu Ling'er is the first in the world, the most attractive mystery of women is vividly reflected in her, Lu Hanjiang can't wait to know what kind of secrets are hidden under her layers of wrapped veils.
