Chapter 520: The predecessor of the Half Moon Hall
Both of them were sent away, and Zhao Fuling calmed down to think about her own affairs.
She remembered the letter she wrote to Li Jingmo, thought about it, and found the paper again and copied it.
It's just that at the end of writing, I added another paragraph of what Du Qiushi said.
It can be regarded as a euphemistic relayment of the meaning of Bai Ji to Li Jingmo.
Regardless of whether Bai Yong can recover his memory or not, the current situation is that he is not willing to recognize them. Or maybe he doesn't want to get back to who he was before.
In Lin'an, he has a wife and daughter, and a father-in-law who is discerning, so why should he go back to the palace to wade into the troubled waters?
Moreover, everyone hopes that the prince will live, but what they hope to live is His Royal Highness the Prince, who can govern the country and is known as a beautiful man in Beijing.
Now this prince, who has lost his legs and can only be confined to a wheelchair for the rest of his life, is it really what they expect?
Would the courtiers of Great Qi want their future monarch to be such a person?
Zhao Fuling thought, if Bai Yong recovered his memory, he would also shirk and disagree because of these reasons, right?
That's it.
Zhao Fuling sighed and put the pen down.
She got up and walked to the window, looked at the strong sunlight outside, and stood still for a long time.
Xu Shoubei was busy until dark before returning.
The chaos in the city has improved slightly, but because many people from the Half Moon Hall have mixed into the city defenders, it took a lot of time just to clean up these female cadres.
Fortunately, the young man named "Le Zhan" helped a lot, and Xu Shoubei still thought that when he was a little more free, he would have to ask what that kid did, and recruit him into the barracks in the future to reuse it.
Unexpectedly, after returning to the Guard's Mansion, he found that Le Chong had also returned.
Xu Shoubei was very surprised, and called Le Chong to ask, "I heard that your accent is not from Lin'an, where are you from?"
Le Zhan said that he came from Anxi and followed Mrs. Fuzhong to the south to look for relatives, and by the way, he asked for medical advice for his little son.
In the end, a soldier reminded Xu Shoubei that the precious little granddaughter in his house was saved by this young man.
Xu Shoubei hurriedly stood up, looked at Le Chong and said in surprise, "It turned out to be a life-saving benefactor for the girl."
As he spoke, he was about to clench his fists and thank Le.
Le Zhan hurriedly dodged uncomfortably, and said in a dry tone, "It's just a gesture, Lord Xu doesn't have to take it to heart."
Xu Shoubei exchanged a few more words with him, and learned that the lady and the little prince in his house were now guarding the mansion, so he hurriedly invited people to have dinner together in the evening.
Soon a servant woman came and said, "Master, the young lady has already prepared the meal, and the aunt is also here, please come with me."
Xu Shoubei nodded again and again, stroked his beard with a smile and said, "It's still Rong Rong who is thoughtful, I'll go and change my clothes."
Le Zhan followed the servant woman to the dining room first, and his mind was full of the young man in a wheelchair all the way.
He felt that it was a bit offensive to ask Xu Shoubei directly, so he thought that he would wait until he saw Zhao Fuling and ask about the situation.
After arriving at the dining room, the others had not yet arrived, but Du Qiushi arrived first.
Le Chang shouted at him, and when Du Qiushi turned his head and saw the other party's slightly puffy eyes, Le Chang already knew the result.
can make the young master cry like this, that young man is undoubtedly His Royal Highness the Prince.
Le Zhan's heart became excited, but before he could say anything, Du Qiushi told him: "Commander Le, at the dinner table later, there is no need to mention the identity of the prince's cousin."
Le Chong was stunned, frowned and asked, "Why?"
Du Qiushi half-hung his head, looked at his toes with a pair of eyes, forcibly held back the sadness in his heart, and said in a low voice: "His life is peaceful and smooth now, and he doesn't want to be disturbed by us. The world is chaotic, and there are many royal families, so let's not bother him."
When Le Zhan heard this, he remembered that Li Jingmo was still working the battlefield now, and he didn't speak for a long time.
If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is recognized, then the heavy responsibility of regaining the throne and quelling the war will be handed over to the Crown Prince. But today's prince
Your Highness, can you really afford it?
Le Zhan understood a little, but in his heart, he felt like he was being stalked by something, and he always felt uncomfortable.
Fortunately, Zhao Fuling came soon and talked to him in private, and Le Zhan's mood calmed down a little.
When everyone arrived, Xu Shoubei politely thanked Zhao Fuling.
Several people were politely greeting, but Le Zhan's gaze stopped on Bai Ji's face for a long time.
Because he had been told by Zhao Fuling in advance, Le Zhan didn't say much, but when he was eating, he couldn't help but cast his eyes on the other party frequently.
Bai Yong was very indifferent, if the two of them met unexpectedly, he smiled at Le Zhan and said hello with his chin.
After a few times, Le Chan was not embarrassed to stare at the other party anymore, and just lowered his head to pick up the rice.
After Xu Yingrong noticed it, she found an appropriate gap and tactfully indicated to Xu Shoubei that Bai Yong might be the brother of Zhao Fuling who had been separated for several years.
Hearing that the two sides might still be related, Xu Shoubei's expression was stunned.
After being stunned, he turned his head to look at Du Qiushi and pondered, "You are cousins? It's a bit similar."
Guo Xun raised his head from the rice bowl and said quickly, "Bai Gongzi is more similar to his own brother, which is carved out of a mold!"
Xu Shoubei laughed, he stroked his beard and said, "That's ...... Mrs. Zhao, when will your husband come to Lin'an?" c
They Xu family, but they really hope to find relatives for Bai Yong.
But Zhao Fuling shook her head and mentioned the war between Anxi and Shangjing.
Xu Shoubei sighed and said very understandingly, "It is indeed not easy for people who are in the army. At the moment of war, he can't disobey his military orders!"
Zhao Fuling knew that he had misunderstood, and she didn't explain, so she took the opportunity to ask about the Half Moon Hall.
At the mention of Half Moon Hall, Xu Shoubei's expression became much more serious.
He sat upright and said, "This Half Moon Hall existed a few years ago, and at the beginning, it was the situation of the Lotus Moon Sect. At that time, they were absorbing believers in various state cities, and the people didn't pay much attention to it. Unexpectedly, two years later, the followers of the Lotus Moon Sect expanded to tens of thousands, and these people even tried to control the states, and the government paid attention to it."
Zhao Fuling raised her eyebrows and asked, "And then?"
Xu Shoubei said, "Catch what should be caught, and kill what should be killed. But there are so many believers in the Lotus Moon Sect, most of them are ordinary people who have been deceived, how can they really take their lives. Fortunately, it has also been quite effective over the years, and the Lotus Moon Sect has begun to disappear, but they are not dead in their thieving hearts, and they soon launched a Half Moon Hall."
Compared to the demagogic operations of the Lotus Moon Sect, the Half Moon Hall is much more direct and bloody.
They used the money defrauded by the Lotus Moon Sect when they recruited believers, prepared a lot of weapons and food, and began to harass the people and attack the state city every now and then. If they encounter a wealthy businessman, they will use all kinds of means to extort money, and their behavior is even more hateful than that of mountain bandits.
It's not the first time that Lin'an has been messed up, but this time it's more serious, and it just so happened that Zhao Fuling and others ran into it.
