Chapter 81 The Northern Zhou Dynasty's poisonous scheme, the grievances of the wealthy

The fire suddenly lit up.

In the corner where the earth and stones were piled up, a figure stood up, holding a fire fold in his hand.

The thin figure was helpless and cold, with a small face painted with flowers, and his eyes were full of water.

Chen Ping found that Hua Mian'er's face was even dirtier, and he seemed to have secretly cried.

"Brother Seven, is that you?"

Flower Face screamed in joy and ran out, almost falling.

Chen Ping hurriedly greeted him, and as soon as he held it, he felt his soft body plunging into his arms, and soon, his clothes were wet, and he could hear bursts of sobbing.

"You know everything?"

Chen Ping touched her head, and there were actually some doubts in his heart.

He guessed something, but he didn't quite understand why the Hu people would come to arrest a little girl so aggressively.

It doesn't make sense.

"The little table and the little stool they wouldn't go, so I hid, thinking that they couldn't find me, and they could be fine...... Woowoo woo ......"

Even if Hua Mian'er was sad and crying, he still pressed his throat hard, for fear that people would listen to it.

"The little stool is dead, but I have avenged him...... The small table was fine, I asked him to change his appearance and hide, presumably no one would pay attention again. ”

Chen Ping didn't know how to comfort this helpless little girl.

Speaking of which, she doesn't kill Beren, but Beren dies because of her......

This thing is a little helpless, you have to figure it out on your own, and it's not just a simple sentence of comfort that can be regarded as nothing happened.

"My father is the king of Jinghai, and he has been guarding the south of the Yangtze River for 14 years, and there used to be a saying here that Xingqing Mansion is not chaotic, and King Jinghai has the final say, but it is all in the past."

Hua Mian'er cried for a while, calmed down a little, sat on top of the mound, and talked about the past.

Chen Ping listened silently and did not make a sound.

"Since three years ago, Yujing sent a decree to cut off the military power of the royal palace in various places, and the atmosphere in Xingqing Mansion has become strange. Especially after hearing that several uncles had rebelled and were quickly extinguished, my father became a little reticent.

However, he didn't say much, just handed over his military power and indulged in lust all day long...... Until, until the invasion of Dongyi Haikou, the government was powerless, and the people suffered heavy casualties. Only then did he pick up his sword again and run around killing thieves. ”

Regarding the matter of King Jinghai, Hua Mian'er obviously doesn't know much.

It should be in the palace, and it is well protected.

She doesn't even know much about martial arts, and she can expect her to care about national affairs.

When the Hu people of the Northern Zhou Dynasty invaded, smoke rose everywhere, and millions of displaced people poured into the south of the Yangtze River, Hua Mian was still the carefree little county lord of the palace.

Still, life has changed.

On that day, when her mother put on her military uniform and went to the border, and her father gathered people to start going to sea, she knew that the peaceful and peaceful days of the past were gone forever.

"My father and mother have always been very kind to me, and there are not too many bad things in the palace...... It's just that my aunt always looks at me very strangely.

Although my brother Ji Xuange has been smiling, he will also bring me some small gifts from time to time...... But I know that he must not like to see my sister in his heart. ”

The flower face chattered about some of the past.

Talking about the senses of everyone in the house.

Speaking of her guards and generals, she was invited to drink by Ji Xuange, the eldest prince of the palace, that day......

She also said that she saw her own goddess of service strangely, and saw Zhuang Hongyi with some black-clothed people quietly approaching her residence......

"This is a ploy to scare the snake."

Chen Ping's color is strange, and he can see it clearly under the faint light of the fire fold.

"Seventh brother, do you also think that I shouldn't escape from the palace?"

Hua Yan was a little frustrated, sighed and lowered his head and sighed: "But I don't dare to bet...... The eldest mother and her mother did not know each other in the first place, and they had used many means in secret.

When I was a child, I also encountered danger a few times, but I never found out whether it was an accident or a man-made accident. ”

"My father has been very kind to me, but he is not satisfied with the invitation, and he will take time to talk to me every once in a while......

Once after drinking, he also said that if my brother was as sensible and obedient as me, he wouldn't have so many worries in this life......"

"What is the background of the eldest lady of the family?"

When Chen Ping heard this, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Even if it is a prince, he is just a county king, and he is a captive prince who has lost his military power, and it is difficult for the children of future generations to have any troubles about winning the heir.

It doesn't make sense.

No matter how much she is pampered, she is only a daughter after all.

Where is the threat to Ji Xuange, the prince of the palace?

Unless, there is a reason for doing so.

"The eldest lady was born in the Cui family in Hexi, and the family is very wealthy. I heard that their horse business was done in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and even the Hu nobles had to look at it differently.

They have as many pearls and jade as sand...... By the way, the Hexi Cui family is also one of the thirteenth families, and there are many masters in the clan. ”

Chen Ping scratched his head a little, one of the thirteenth families, if it was in the previous life, it was nothing, the so-called family had long been scattered, and it only had a title.

However, in ancient times, these could be called family-owned, but none of them were simple.

They are all local emperors with private armies.

Even, some people claim that a hundred years of dynasty, a thousand years of family.

This kind of force tends to bet on many sides.

When they married King Jinghai at the beginning, it must have been a move they made in advance.

Well, no matter what kind of calculations they have.

Anyway, in terms of interests, he will never be with King Jinghai.

Most likely, there are all kinds of differences.

Thinking of Princess Jinghai's mother's family is a wealthy family doing business, and it is also closely connected with the Northern Zhou side, can it be considered that they don't actually care whether Nanli is overturned or not. I don't care if the Northern Zhou Hu cavalry can capture Xingqing Mansion.

Anyway, it's just eating at both ends.

Maybe they have their own supporters.

It is very likely that it is the prince of Jinghai.

This may be exactly what King Jinghai is dissatisfied with.

He didn't want to be a name and a symbol of someone else's authority.

One day, someone came to force the palace to give up power.

"Where's your mother?"

"The mother is the daughter of the head of the previous generation of the Qingwei Sword Sect, and now she is one of the four elders, and her swordsmanship is extremely strong, and the people in the rivers and lakes call Autumn Leaves a real person.

She also has a lot of good brothers and sisters in the door, this time the Northern Zhou Dynasty invaded, she gathered a group of people from the Qingwei Sword Sect, went to Tianmen Pass, and fought against the wolf with Uncle Yuan and Uncle Qin. ”

"Is your mother very hot-tempered?"

Chen Ping's heart moved.

From the words of the flower face, a thrilling house fight story of a wealthy family is outlined.

It is also roughly clear how many bad things King Jinghai, the prince who guards the town, has in the backyard of his house.

"How do you know? When the mother was young, the people in the rivers and lakes called [Spicy Hand Xianji], not only swordsmanship, but also jealousy and hatred, although the temper was a little violent, and the bottom of the hand was a little ruthless, but it was deeply loved by the people. ”

Speaking of this, Hua Face's eyes sparkled with deep admiration.

She missed her mother.

"Hua Mian'er, you said, if you die at the hands of the Hu people of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and die in a very dishonoring way, how will your mother react?"

"I will definitely raise troops to kill me back, and besides, I will settle accounts with my eldest mother......

My elder brother, who usually looks dignified and sanctimonious, is actually extremely vicious in his heart, and what I overheard alone, he tortured no less than ten civilian women from good families......

Once something happens to me, my mother will definitely blame the Cui family for not protecting her well, and she will not stop if she doesn't take a few heads to vent her anger. ”

Hua Mian said with some uncertainty.

As he spoke, he suddenly realized.

"What about your father? Will you turn against your aunt and break with the Cui family? Chen Ping felt that the ideas in his mind were getting clearer and clearer.

"Probably not."

The flower face is a little depressed.

"Although my father is crazy, he is very loyal to the court, and it is impossible to erect a strong enemy at this time. He may persuade his mother and relatives not to push the Cui family to the side of the Hu people of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and he may even appease the eldest mother......"

"I see, Flowerface."

Chen Ping nodded, finally figuring out what was going on.

"My name is Ji Mingyue, my mother usually calls me Xiao Yue'er, Seventh Brother, you can also call me like that."

Hua Mian suddenly interjected, talking about irrelevant titles.

"Okay, Xiaoyue, you heard clearly, your safety now is not only related to the affairs of the palace, but also to the safety of Xingqing Mansion and even millions of people in the surrounding area.

Now, we are weak, the enemy is strong, and Xingqing Mansion can no longer stay. ”

Chen Ping's color was slightly heavy.

"Every day passes, the search in the city will become stronger, and I don't believe in the official government of Xingqing Mansion at all......

Among them, it is very likely that some people will communicate with the Hu people, and even, they can be pursued and arrested from both light and dark directions at the same time.

If we stay in the city, we will soon be in an ambush on all sides, and it is only a matter of time before we are captured. ”

"Seventh brother, where are you going, I'll follow."

Hua Yan was not intimidated.

In this case, she has actually been mentally prepared for a long time.

Having said that, there was a deep expectation in his eyes.

As soon as Chen Ping saw it, he knew what the little girl was thinking.

"You can't go there."

"Why?" The flower face was puzzled.

"Do you think, if you go to Tianmen Pass, don't say if you can see your mother for the first time...... Even if you see it, you will definitely not be able to hide the past experience of being chased all the way, with your mother's temper, what will she do? ”

"Yes, she will definitely be furious, bring people back to find an explanation, and kill a few people to sacrifice the flag."

Hua Mian'er nodded yes.

"Only by finding my father, only he can take action, and first calm the chaos in Xingqing Mansion, and no one can say anything. It will not let the gate of heaven be lost. ”

"Your mother must be very powerful." Listening to Hua Mian'er's natural words, Chen Ping suddenly reacted, "What is her ranking on the ground list?" ”

"Sixth, didn't I say that? is only three places weaker than Fubo Fairy, the best thing is [Seven Star Steps] and [Bright Moon Sword], he once fought with Yuwen Zhao of the Northern Zhou Dynasty for a thousand moves without being defeated, and then due to fatigue after a long battle, he retreated to recuperate, and Yuwen Zhao did not dare to chase. ”

Hua Mian'er said proudly.
